Considering Vista is based off of the guts Windows Server 2003, your view is
already seriously flawed.

What do mean by: however the level of advantages that Vista gives
over XP is quite similar to what 95 gave to Windows 3.11.
Bill, tell me HOW Vista has advantages over XP?

Hi, I am one of the person from a developing nation known for its rampant
piracy of windows software. One solution for all this is for microsoft to
price its software accordingly. They know the percapita income of the nation
and should price it accordingly. This would greatly reduce piracy.

Microsoft is telling us according to the EULA that we do not own the
software. We have very few rights.
Too complicated for most users.
Rick said:Practical and really having one are two different things.
Microsoft was
able to successfully market their product regardless of cheaper
alternatives.
Part of that was providing interoperability with a wider
range of applications and hardware support. In an open market, the
consumer chooses who leads the pack.
As a result, Microsoft now enjoys a
market dominance, and can command compatibility for any that want their
product to succeed. At least until the consumer decides to change their
habits.
That is a choice issue.
Some argue that Windows is too expensive, yet
people continue to buy it regardless of price. A Mercedes is a choice,
but many purchase a Ford instead.
Not really, most of the releases in the past 4-5 years are fairly user
friendly, even for the novice. A bigger problem is porting applications,
but as more get on board there may be a change in the market. What linux
needs is a deal with a major manufacturer, given that and ease of use
they may gain a foothold with the non-geek consumers.
Phil said:Interestingly enough I tried out a Linux Distro from freespire.org and
it is amazingly simple and completely free. It also includes a free
click and run with access to hundreds of free applications and games as
well as 'for sale' software. This looks really promising and could be a
realistic alternative.

Please stop trying to make analogies with physical entities. It
does not make any sence. Software is not a physical object you
buy from vendor and you don't own it.
Why not make analogy to physical entities?
Do I even need to explain?
You cannot copy a 20 lbs. hamburger. You cannot make a backup just in
case you are not sure if you're a good cook. You cannot have it for
dinner, then give it to your friend and granma, then go to the
restaurant and share it with everybody.
Microsoft "ties" the software to hardware.
If software vendors could do that 100% effectively there would be no
need in any EULAs. There would be no piracy too.

Jon,
There's a lot of information on ths subject. Please do some research
will you. A list of new features and enhancements alone would
probably keep you busy reading thru for several minutes.
Here's a couple of links to help you get started:

responsibility and accountablility.
That's another example of weak analogy. What does a chair have to doPersonally, I think software should be strictly copyright as in a book. You
don't need to buy a new book just because you buy a new reading chair.

with anything? Nobody forces you to buy a new OS if your working
chair is broken. OS is not installed on the chair neither a novel is
printed on it.

So, you didn't bite "neither a novel is printed on it" hint.
Sorry, I cannot continue this conversation, this is starting to be
ridiculous...
