Let’s see.

* Resource hog
* Hopeless file transfer rates over network, cruelly slow even between disks in the same computer
* F**ked up tcp/ip stack
* Still not much better in the sleep/suspend department compared to XP
* Overly intrusive UAC and quite often silent fails unless you know your process need administrator privileges beforehand.
* No simple way to allow a program access to protected folders when necessary
* Hopelessly inadequate defrag-tools, and buggy shadow-protection that make third party tools dangerous.
* Continuous disk-accesses is reaaally inconvenient on laptops that need to save energy

Etcetera.

It is really amazing that apart from the Aero UI, the advantages of Vista over XP is pretty damn close to nil. After all the systems are half a decade apart.

I mean, what can it hurt? It's best to stay up-to-date with technology and the best way to do that in my opinion is through patience. I mean, sure there were some Vista issues but I thought overall it worked well. I was thinking of getting a new laptop and now thinking I’ll try to hold off until July. I mean, what can it hurt?

Maybe it's just that the eMachines brand isn't exactly HP or Dell, but I wouldn't think that anyone participating in the upgrade program could expect to see a shiny DVD arrive on their doorstep the day Windows 7 releases.

Microsoft is hurting their business partners, with making you buy a new update, especially with so many problems with Vista.
