My weekly quickTIP Column over at MCPmag.com has stirred up a whole hornet's nest of comments. In fact, more than any of my previous colums so far. In that article, titled Standing Tall on My Vista Soapbox, I talk about my concerns about all the anti-Vista vitriol I've been seeing out of the Windows administrator community. From the piece:

Considering these, strangely enough with many of the loudest administrators I also find that they're running on old information. They took one look at Vista during its initial release, made judgment, and haven't looked back. In many cases, their information about what works and what doesn't work is now dated, doubly so with the release of Service Pack 1.

So, now that we're over a year past Vista's release and shortly past Service Pack 1, it's time to give Vista another objective look. Still got excuses why not to upgrade? I want to hear them. Drop them into this column as a comment or send me an e-mail. I'll post the most intelligent arguments in a future column.

In not even a week, over 40 comments have been posted that range from congratulations for taking a pro-Vista stance to others telling me how uninformed and "out of touch" I am for my opinions. Its obviously still a hot topic.

(Oh, and as a special sneak peek for those who keep up with this blog, I've submitted a "Part II" to this piece where I attempt to stir up the hornet's nest a little more. Keep an eye on that column!)
