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.

That’s a very good comment, and yes, I believe other folks have told me the same thing. Still, if I could ever get an older laptop and install Vista on it, I probably would just for nostalgia’s sake.

Exactly correct. By the time my Vista laptop was no longer erratic, it was no longer quick, either, even though I kept taking more and more “stuff” off of it. With just the OS running, even Notepad was slow-doggy as heck.
