Software Migration

Will Windows Vista force a migration to alternatives?

Windows Vista is a rumored to be a resource hog and will be loaded with the maxium amount of DRM known to mankind that will require obtaining a certificate and license for virtually every activity.
And although Microsoft Corp. has yet to finalize the minimum requirements for a PC to run Vista, it is unlikely to run the Aero Glass Graphics on anything with intergrated video.
Personally I don’t care because I don’t use Windows for anything except Tax Software and for that I still have a box that runs Windows 2000.
I much prefer Linux and FreeBSD but I am thinking about moving to MAC for convenience.
But, since most gaming has now moved to consoles and no one really cares very much about a fancy user interface, ( I am more interested in getting things done ) do you think that Windows Vista will force a migration to alternative operating systems?
Or do you think that most companies and home users will stay with 2K or XP until Microsoft stops supporting them and shuts them down?

There is a lot of hype about Vista but this all media generated and clever strategy. Seriously, whose going to care enough to invest in these new things/resources when you have a perfectly fine os like win xp?? Vista is only strong security wise and will be hard to pirate… but otherwise its not got much in it.
