1) Maybe because many people of this forum really are not as technically savvy as they claim to be or would rather have something pretty than functional? Looking through the OS areas of the forum I have seen all sorts of problems with Vista here and all over the internet... so you're saying your few installs that were uneventful qualifies Vista as a stable and well built OS?
2) What is faulty... how about drivers in general. If it is not built into Vista or released by a company that is somehow partnered with MS, then it tends to have problems. From the HAL being chopped in favor of the API layer which forces sound to be handled in software instead of hardware, it causes undue stress on the CPU and memory by doubling its work when using sound related code. this has caused Creative to release hacked drivers that cuts the functionality of not only their software but the very basis of their sound cards. Or the extra coding forced by the kernel mode DRM that forces all media streams, both sound and video to go through the checksum verification process that slows down framerates and lags sound for even the most basic of games on moderate hardware. Sure it works fine on top end systems but some people cannot afford that.
Mojave was an advertising ploy from day 1. If you look at any of those sites that have those videos, where is the other half of people who even after looking at "Mojave" still didn't like it? You won't see them because Microsoft will not post them. Also did they have the person try to connect to a different network? Did they have the person try to install an older printer? No they had the systems pre-configured to make it appear as if it had zero problems and was stable...
