What's wrong with Vista? For me I only use my PC to browse online, I don't play PC games. If we're looking at it from that, what's wrong? Or is the problem for stuff other than just browsing?

  There's nothing wrong with Vista unless it is used on some ancient machine with 512/1024 MB of ram and slow single core CPU.

A lot of hate is remainder from first 6 months when 3rd party drivers sucked badly which gave the system bad name.

 

Also people hated User Access Control  because they preferred to be ignorant about what happens in their pc and it was obviously huge problem to click it when installing something new.

Definitely. I remember when Vista just came out I installed it on my now "ancient" laptop (2.13ghz Pentium-M/1gb ram from late 2005) and it went from being really fast and responsive on XP, to excruciatingly slow. I would click on something like the start button and I had to wait several seconds before the menu even came up! Let's just say I switched back to XP real quick.

I tried Vista again, when I put together my desktop, but compatibility issues and slower overall performance made me switch back to XP. I'm looking forward to trying out Windows 7 when I get the chance.
