That's another reason people have become sick of MS.. same song and dance. no innovation, more poor coding that requires even more ram, more HD space and 93 CPUs to run. lol 
I'll stick with XP Pro until a REAL OS comes out.. One worth spending a crazy $300 for..... |
...I don't think it's fair to say that Vista has failed...it's certainly gotten people thinking about what a good operating system is, and ultimately, it has a better implementation of features than XP. Networking is the one I'm most in love with...it's just eeeeeaaaaaasssssyyyyyy in Vista, whereas with XP, it was a dark, voodoo-like task.
Vista also keeps the hardware market moving along, which is not a bad thing...and, it's even been a great gaming platform, after SP1.
Only other thing I would add is that the OEM licenses for Vista and 7 are imminently reasonable. $130 for a software suite that you use every day to do almost everything you need? That's Vista Home Premium. Same price as XP, but just plain better in every area regarding features. Maybe a little shy on performance, but 7 is fixing that, as tests have shown. Further, 7 will be completely compatible with XP programs via Virtualized XP Mode.
But, I don't want to sound like I work at Microsoft...so, I'll just say this...they really try to bring the best experience to the most people.
Maybe others hit certain notes better, but that's not what Microsoft is about.
