Extended support til 2017.
I no longer have a PC running it, but it was a pretty good OS. It is certainly no ME, in fact, at this point in time, it is vastly superior to Xp for most uses.
I think that vista was much better than XP in every way...

There is a difference between Mainstream support and Extended support. Vista will still get security patches until 2017........ Micro$oft officially stopped free support of vista today........ =) thank god maybe it will dissappear now. LOL goooo play with windows ME when you belong.
Vista after service pack = windows 7 minus aero snap and homegroup... It was kind of proof of the whole "internet opinion" thing.
Superfetch is much more aggressive on Vista than 7. Slow HDD's with Vista = death.Pretty much. It seems to me that Vista is more agressive with the HDD though.

The fact that Windows 7 was released less than 3 years after Vista tells its own story. Vista as a brand was tarnished.

Vista is great if you have 2gb of ram. When it was release, many computers only have 1 gb of ram. That was one of problems.
I have 4 gb of ram with onboard graphic. I like Vista: all in one.
Even though Win 7 can run great with only 1GB, yet Vista requires 2GB to run at all, right.
It was the much more aggressive caching/superfetch .... the holder HDs of the time when Vista came out just choked when they were hit by that + all the paging because of the low RAM.
I'm sure if you dropped vista onto a system with 1GB and an SSD or just modern 7200rpm drive with decent seek times, it would perform much much better than expected
Aggressive superfetch wasn't the only problem Vista had, but if you enjoy it, then have fun.
I actually tried that; had two laptops, one that was "built for Vista", another that was "Built for 7". Loaded up both OSes and used them for a couple weeks ( this was back when I was working at a grocery store chain, and I had a lot of extra time to be futzing around ). Vista, on both the Vista AND 7 laptop, felt more sluggish. And on both laptops, I had the thrashing harddrive issue, where Vista would go off to indexing land and never come back, not even when I started working on the machine.immature device drivers from the manufacturers being the other problem.... Seriously, Vista and 7 are the same thing as long as you install the same device drivers....
try it one day, Vista was just a bit ahead of its time

Vista was great after the first service pack, no complaints on my end.
It was interesting to see a smear campaign go so viral though.

7, on both, was snappy and responsive.
Vista was simply half baked, that's all there was too it. It wasn't bad..per se..but it definitely wasn't the same thing as 7.
I tend not to listen to reviewers. They are usually full of shit. I do, however, listen to my end users ( on occasion. I don't like making a habit of it ), and I do listen to my own experiences.No it wasn't......the people who reviewed it were half baked. Used it from day 1 on the rig below with no issues only installed 7 on it when MS gave it to me for free at a lauch event.

It's kind of funny to think that Vista's support ends earlier than XP.

Based on those two data sources, vista was released before it was ready.
Win 7 is essentially what Vista should have been upon release, but I'm glad MS decided to fix all of Vista's problems and actually make a decent OS, despite it being Windows.
See, it's comments like this that make me question all your other posts. You obviously have a grudge against Windows to begin with. Sure, Vista had some problems, but it wasn't really that bad at the time (When 7 came out, it blew it out of the water - like most OS successors).
I haven't exaggerated anything and I never said the whole OS didn't work at all, now you're making things up.But, being against Windows to begin with shows that you will find any problems and exaggerate them to the point that it sounds like the whole OS didn't work at all
I'm entitled to my opinion based on my experiences with all variants of Windows, especially in an enterprise environment, where unfortunately, was not Vista's strong point.

Considering this is your first post in this thread, it's comments like this that make me question your posts.
Second post (this is my third). I didn't say you did, I said that you will (generally). If you go into a product with general distaste, your opinions will generally be negative (not YOU as in YOU, but as a general person).
