The reviews tend to show a performance loss instead of gain, so that
half of the equation is certainly not a lie. As for the features, what
new OS feature does Vista have ? The interface isn't really a feature,
so much as eye candy. Even then, Apple has had all those features for
years, so you can't really call them new. Some people will not even use
the Aero interface as it requires more graphics processing power than
the majority of existing PCs have.

Either way, such things are very subjective. I have seen few, if any,
people say that the eye candy alone is worth the extra cost,
particularly if you have to shell out for a new graphics adapter. Most
people will get Vista only when they buy a new PC and it is
preinstalled.

The argumentum ad populam isn't very convincing. Twenty years ago
Windows was on only a tiny minority of PCs.
