      As usual I think that sentiment was retroactive, certainly once Vista came out. At launch, people hated the Fisher-Price look of the Luna default UI. Like, a lot. The switch to the NT based kernel for the home version of Windows also caused a shitton of people’s hardware and peripherals not to work anymore because they needed new drivers and the manufacturers of said gadgets – if they were still in business – could not be arsed. Some of this could be alleviated by bullying that hardware’s Windows 2000 drivers into working with XP. Some of it could not.

        They should’ve just used the Silver theme instead of blue luna. Unless it didn’t exist on launch.

        No. It was a crash test dummy for windows 7.

        It was a beta that wasn’t stable.

            I wouldn’t call vista successful. Windows 7 replaced XP, Vista did not.

            Like I said, it was a beta.

          it was as stable as windows 11, but the uac system and other security chnages broke a lot of apps, including some system services. As soon as the apps adapted it became pretty decent.
          About the performance, win7 isn’t lighter than vista, vista just came out too early

            Windows 11 has been pretty rock solid for me.

            Vista was not and working in IT for a long time I saw enough examples of vista to never recommend it.

            XP was better at everything until windows 7 came along.

            It doesn’t matter how light an OS is if it isn’t stable.

            Windows 11 is in its beta phase. Like windows 10 was until 2018.

            And 11 is the beta for 12.

          This and Windows 8 and 8.1: either crappy or confusing

            It really was though. UAC didn’t actually work until windows 7.

          My first laptop ever came with Vista and it’s was so bug ridden and crashed constantly. It was so nice when windows 7 finally came out.

      Windows has its ups.

      The only problem people should have with it is that it’s on 70% of ALL desktops which is about half a billion too many.

      A fair competition should be there. Linux, Mac and Windows should have around 33% market share in an ideal world.

      You may count whatever Google is doing or Samsung/Huawei can do as separate in a dream world.
