What was the official reason for forcing a new OS again? Is there actually anything positive to be gained from it?

To me -- and I'm sure its been said here many times already -- it just seems to be major bloatware designed to force users to keep upgrading computers.

Processors have been fast enough for most peoples requirements for a long time. I just reinstalled Win2000 in an old desktop and it's really fast again, runs multiple graphics programs just fine. XP is doing fine on newer computers as well.

Maybe I'm being too harsh -- only have a few minutes experience with Vista... and MS is just a business trying to profit.
