Microsoft keeps extending the deadline of XP downgrade machines and keeps pushing forward the release of Windows 7 which is basically a re-done version of Vista. Sounds like Vista was a failure to me.
Windows Vista has a bad reputation for the same reason Windows XP had a bad reputation when it first started. It wasn't as good as the OS before it. The difference is that XP got better as time went by. Vista is too, but not good enough to convince people it's worth it.
And Vista does slow down your computer compared to XP. It's simple fact it requires more system resources than XP does, just like XP requires more than 2000. Is it worth the change?
