While I'm not a Vista fan, it does have a bad reputation nowadays. In some circles Vista is known as Windows ME II. Some of it bad rep is deserved.

Imo the biggest problem with Vista is that while it's an ok operating system generally, it needed to be a "GREAT" operating system to draw consumers and business's alike, with one flavor or maybe two like XP. And it's not doing that. And not have OEM's like Dell offering XP or Linux.

In the long term the microsoft monopoly still wins. If they sell XP or Vista, microsoft still gets their cash. Time is on their side as eventually you'll upgrade or buy a new pc and get Vista or whatever follows it. But for now they're not getting my cash.
