By now, some of you may have read a few things about Microsoft's new OS, which is about to be sold around the world to the public. Here is a poll whose question is simple :
Will you <s>shoot yourself in the foot</s> buy Vista anytime soon ?
Please explain your reasons in either case. Just answer YES if you plan to buy it in 2007. I could have listed many options, but in the end it will be easier to just have YES and NO.

Me votes NO. My PC can't handle it at all (don't plan any hardware upgrade). It is too expensive (especially in Europe). It is a piece of crappy software, years behind other OSes (ex : GNU/Linux). It is not a free software. It is not as much of an improvement as it was first thought (but we'll still pay the same). It is against freedom and personal control over your hardware and software and data, and rather gives away this control to Microsoft. It smells.
