Just for the sake of discussion, assume that Vista was only to be sold as an
upgrade and did not come with new PCs. Assume that all PC users are divided
into 3 groups.



Group 1 are novices and know little about the innards, they just use the PC
for mail, web surfing, and a few other things.



Group 2 are seasoned users who can deal with Control panel, understand far
more than the basics, and are comfortable doing most windows things.



Group 3 are experts and can do anything.



For each group, what are the top five reasons they would want to upgrade to
Vista?

Greater security out of the box.

Quite honestly nothing that I can see yet. This group may be the most
confused of all with elements of the UI.
Group 3 are experts and can do anything.

Helping out Group 1 & 2 on usenet ;-)
 
My guesses are:



Group 1 (casual, non-technical users)

Probably no reason - because it costs time and money, and they can already
do what they want to do without spending more time/money.


Group 2 (Power users)

Want to maximize productivity. It's only worth doing if the time/money cost
increases productivity sufficiently to justify that cost.



Group 3: (Admins/developers)

It's forced on them by groups 1 and 2 ;-)
