Vista stunk at first, but by the time it was patched it was as close to Windows 7 without being Windows 7 as it could be. It wasn’t half bad towards the end of its life.

I think the problem was that by the time they fixed everything, machines that came with Vista initially had a hard time keeping up with the system requirements. So while the operating system itself may have finally worked, it outlived its usefulness on those machines.

#27. My computer casing says Windows Vista/Vostro 220s unit but it has had Windows 7 (great), replaced by a Microsoft corrupted Windows 8.0/8.1 (still using some of it) and possibly now Windows 10, 10/1, 11, or who the hell knows what is inside.

Even a repairman and Microsoft can’t tell me what is in my systems. Still using Internet Explorer because I’m afraid that I will lose a lot of data if I go to the newer Microsoft version.

Got this computer in late 2009 and until they screwed up with Windows 8, I never had any problems. Now I can’t find an old scanner that will link with the old internal link-systems. My basement looks like a graveyard for incompatible/more recent scanners and complete units.).

The old adage of “Keep it simple stupid” never made it to the leadership of Microsoft. Should rename the program “Microcrap”. More truthful in advertising.

Vista was the prototype for Win7.
