Vista vs XP: a non-issue? Maybe

There is no need to conduct a scientific survey to realize that a lot of people are already using Windows Vista. Just go to a library, visit one of those ubiquitous cafés or simply peek at your neighbor wielding a laptop computer in the bus or train. It occurred to me that this sort of "debate" about upgrading or downgrading, better or worse, now or later or never, and so on and so on, are as just meta-realities created by the media... And you know what happens to your life when you pay too much attention to the media? Well, fill your mind and spirit with that sort of apocalyptic junk food that proclaims in a veiled fashion that "the end is near, repent". Precisely, that sort of veiled discourse cleverly intertwined with "be more beautiful and this is the formula just for you" and "buy more and save more"... Let's turn the TV and the Internet off once in a while as a matter of mental hygiene.
