iTWire colleague David M Williams has written an article entitled “5 reasons to upgrade from Windows Vista to Linux”.

David says that “Windows Vista has been out for almost two years now but it still suffers from stability and compatibility issues, let alone an insatiable desire for beefier hardware. You don't have to live with it; here are five reasons why Linux makes a better choice for your computer.”

But I’d change this to: Windows Vista has been out for almost two years now, has received an excellent first service pack, and has left its initial stability and compatibility issues in the dust, running very well even on older hardware, with my own now-older system as a great example.

Yes, you’ll need 2GB of RAM for performance, but RAM has never been cheaper and if you’re running Vista, don’t run it with anything less.

His five reasons for upgrading to Linux are:

1. You can update every single piece of software on your computer with a single action.

2. It’s the safest operating system ever.

3. Your PC can look after itself

4. Run an entire computer for free, without breaking the law

5. Take all your settings with you wherever you go

Well, let’s go through all those reasons, put them in their place, and come up with 5 more to stick with Vista and forget about Linux.
