With Microsoft officially acknowledging the issues with Vista and the offer to large organisations for a free Windows 7 OS (if on Vista), I feel cheated. As advertised in the newspapers and other sources that Piracy is bad, I dutifully purchased the Windows Vista along with the laptop. Now Microsoft says that Vista was a mistake and hence its introducing Windows 7.

Let me put that in perspective. This is cheating. If piracy is bad, then non-piracy is even worse.

Ok, since you understood whats gong in my head, you wouldn’t expect me trusting Miscrosoft any more. Now, MS OS is a very costly software and its not easy to dump it. What options do I have?

It could be ok to forgive MS and go for Windows 7. Do I have an option?

Well not now, but, our pals from Google have announced Google Chrome OS. It is expected to be launched in second half of 2010. MS Vista support is not going to die till then. Till then I can afford to hold on to the Vista straw.

The other option is Ubuntu. I might decide on it when Google Chrome OS.

For Microsoft, I plan to forgive and not forget. I am going to keep an open mimd and check its products, but, I doubt i will ever buy them.
