To extend that analogy a bit, people do that because they tried to buy a row
boat from M$, and got an ocean liner instead.  You're talking about more raw
computing power than a 60's supercomputer; just to run a freaking operating
system!

Calling Vista a resource hog is insulting to hogs!

and slow Windows is ever since Windows 286
