Windows Vista Upgrading - Digg it or Bury it?

Everyone thinks the new Windows Vista is SO AWSOME because of its slick features, if you want vista buy a new computer - heck then you can stop reading now and go eat a doughnut (no im not american i just love doughnuts) Check out Bob's story : "Hi im bob and im telling u NOT to buy vista upgrade, this is my story. IT was June 2007 - I was pissed off at my crappy windows XP so i thought IM GONA GET VISTA! So i went down to pc world, asked the staff member about vista and they broke it down to a few simple packages, basic for well basic and ultimate for the ultimate experiance. So i thought im a computer geek i want it all I WANT ULTIMATE!!! So i check the price £250!!! I thought OH MY F**KIN GOD HOW F**KIN AWSOME!!!! I bought it went home and went to install it.... Now i've had to reinstall my anti-virus software because vista didnt like it, remove half of my programs AND my pc is still so slow! In the end i found out that you needed WAY MORE than just the upgrade package - New graphics card, new memory, new RAM, basiclly a whole new pc - i unistalled vista and checked the internet about vista seemed that the hidden costs where alot more than £250 - to upgrade my pc JUST TO REACH THE MININUM REQUIREMENTS - i needed £650! So i thought screw vista im stayin with XP until i have enough money for a new computer!" That was bobs story - Bob is fictional but the hidden costs and most of the story is trueso in the end its about £650 for vista and a upgraded PC whereas a new pc from dell would cost £2500 im not badmouthing vista just warning you of hidden costs and requirements - thats all folks!
