Lost for words - Just not for the right reason

Forget WOW, there's another Micrsoft website promoting Windows Vista, 100 reasons why everyone's so speechless.

Honestly, how many people, unconvinced about Vista and looking for good reasons to upgrade, are actually going to read 100 reasons?

Having read through them all (now there's committment for you), what irratates me the most is that rather a lot of them refer to the same feature in Vista, so it's not really 100 reasons.

The highlights (or should that be lowlights) for me were:

23. Because it's like a digital candy store - Don't really know what that means.

26. Because you're a multitasker - Tabs in Internet Explorer 7, or in my case since I started using Opera five years ago. And IE7 works in Windows XP

40. Because you love what you do - Again fairly meaningless

50. Get more out of the web - Tabbed browser, again

70. Your PC is ready when you are - You're all bored of my rants on Sleep by now I'm sure

87. Play the hottest new games - Bioshock is hot, Chess Titans isn't

This isn't to say you shouldn't buy Vista but listing 100 reasons isn't the best way to go about it.
