Buy Vista or Else 539
theodp writes "Upgrade or keep crashing was the tagline when Windows XP was introduced. So how will Windows Vista be marketed? 'I'd hate to see something bad happen to your PC,' seems to be one pitch. Even if new features won't get you to upgrade to Vista, you should buy Vista for the security, urged Windows Chief Jim Allchin. Are commercials featuring Tony Soprano next? Bada Bing!"

Yeah, Winblows security? They haven't reimplemented enough of Unix to be secure yet.

Sure, it's secure - it can't be pwned when the new RSOD feature is active.
Well, I've shot my wad.

We labelled the OpenOffice Writer icon as "Microsoft Word", for instance, and people didn't know the difference.

Sure, but at least it won't get a Virus and send a picture of you in your undercrackers to Paris Hilton's cell phone.

I installed a fresh copy (no pun intended) of Windows XP SP2 from MSDN on VIrtual PC 7 (after trying Vista and learning you can't install Vista on VIrtual PC on a Mac either...) and did my usual defrag after instal. Only 9,000 files. Can you believe it? I hadn't remembered how little one actually gets from MS for $199.
So yeah, they need to do something like the old magazine cover and print the picture of a dog on the front of the box with a Dirty Harry gun pointed at it. They certainly don't put much inside the box to get you to buy it...
