I’ve been doing some research on Windows Vista, even downloaded Word and Excel 2007 (can anyone give me a halelujuah on the 1,000,000 rows and 16,000 columns of possibility in the new Excel?) and I’ve come up with a short list of reasons why I want to upgrade and another list of why I won’t right now.

Five Reasons I Want to Upgrade to Windows Vista

• The Graphics are Amazing: Sat goodbye to 2D, my brothas and sistas because everything is 3D in Vista and it looks amazing, which leads me to my second reason.
• Flip 3D Menus: Say goodbye to the littel alt-tab box where you had to rely on file names to get to what you’re looking for. The Flip 3-D function lets you see all your open files in a sideway 3-D view so you can flip through and find what you’re looking for much easier.

• Backup Utility is Built In: I have been waitin for Windows to add this functionality into their system tools because almost every third-party application I’ve used didn’t work for shit. Hopefully, this one will be a big improvement.
• Windows Media Home Edition Will Finally Work with My XBOX 360: I have been waiting to get my music and photos wirelessly for over a year and I will finally be able to

• Some of My Drivers Won’t Work: Quickbooks and Sony Vegas Suite are two that definitely won’t work with XP and two that I definitely use–this is a major obstacle for me.
• My Computer isn’t Powrful Enough Yet: I need a new graphics card and that’s a pain in my balls and an expense I need right now like a screw in my anus.
