The article is more suitable for a PC magazine than an encyclopedia, and here I do not mean due to its lack of sources or inappropriate tone. Any relevant info, if any, should be placed in the appropriate article, as, like I've said before, the subject of the article is more suitable for a magazine than an encyclopedia. This is not only for this article, but for many others of the same 'nature'. diego_pmc (talk) 11:51, 10 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete. I really don't see the point of this article. Ignoring all the opinions, all that is left is a collection of miscellaneous facts about the operating systems that can be found at their respective articles. Rilak (talk) 12:09, 10 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Weak delete and possible merge: This subject has been written on by many sources but there are two problems. Firstly, it is poorly referenced leading to a suspicion of OR. The second problem is that any comparison between two things involves a choice of which two things to compare which is more or less arbitrary. We don't need or want hundreds of articles like Comparison of OS/2 and BeOS. It could be countered that comparing an OS to its predecessor version is worthwhile but that seems to be core content for its article, not a separate article. Provided it can be referenced, some of the content here could be merged into Windows Vista. --DanielRigal (talk) 17:01, 10 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
