Information Technology Pros Debate Windows Vista 377
An anonymous reader writes "As a follow-on to John Welch's widely read review arguing that Mac OS X is superior to Vista, Information Week is running the first in a weeklong series of roundtables where a programmer, networking consultant, and 3 IT managers have a serious technical debate on the pros and cons of Vista. What's been your experience with Vista? More importantly, do you think it will ever gain traction among corporate users, or is its glitzy Aero interface destined to make it mainly a consumer OS?"

I'm sure if I actually bought and installed it, though, I'd have a different opinion...

Turns out the changes really are substantial. The large number of brilliant developers working on Vista for 5 years created a good deal more than just a pretty interface. Read up on it, how is OS X superior? It's not. Can OS X catch up? Probably not.
OS X may have been gaining ground on XP, but Vista buries it.
