More bad news for Windows Vista as PC World crowns it as the biggest tech disappointment of the year.

Here are some of the comments added by PC World from their recent article:

* “Five years in the making and this is the best Microsoft could do?”
* “It’s not that Vista is awful.” “It’s just that Vista isn’t all that good.”
* “Despite its hefty hardware requirements, Vista is slower than XP.”

So what exactly is it that makes us not want to migrate from XP to Vista? Here are some great points highlighted by Davinder over at ToThePC:

* Huge list of in-compatibility with other software.
* Need to upgrade computer hardware to a fair extent.
* People are still in love with darling ‘Windows XP’.
* Price of Windows Vista does not justify value it brings.
