First of all, Vista isn't broken. Not with SP1. What exactly "doesn't work"?
Second, you don't HAVE to upgrade, no-one is charging you twice. That is your choice.
Third, you wan't the new product but don't believe you have to pay for it because the new product is better than the last. Tough. That is the way it goes. Otherwise you might as well complain to Ford you don't want to pay for a new car as that is what the Mk1 Ford Escort should have been like...
Install Linux, or buy a Mac, or even install XP. Heck, keep Vista. But don't complain you are being charged twice for something. You have other options. Use them.
