Should I buy Microsoft Vista?

There certainly has been a lot written about the current version of Windows. It has now been available for over a year and over 100 million copies have been sold. This, however, is a little misleading since over 250 million PC's have been sold in that time. 

While sites such as Bad Vista will tell you the problem with Vista is the copy protection (DRM) the reality is for the average user there just isn't a compelling reason to upgrade. 

Sure, if you are buying a new PC you can get Vista but I don't see a reason to run out to the store and get the new version. (I am still running XP on my PC) 

Here is a thought, if you need to learn a new operating system anyway, why not check out a Mac?
