    Vista doesn’t deserve the hate it gets. There was very little difference between it and 7 which everyone loves.

    Vista was a giant upgrade from XP, it was like going from GemOS to win95

      The issue with Vista was almost solely the lack of driver support for anything.

      Vista caused a lot of vendors to slowly but surely start updating drivers for their products and enabled Windows 7 to have a much smoother launch.

      Really Win7 stands on the shoulders of Vista.

        What also completely screwed Vista was all of the XP era PCs getting a Vista Ready sticker slapped on when they very much did not have the hardware to run it properly.
