Slow Death for Windows Vista - Packaged Software End of Sales Reached

in a way, perhaps it's a good thing that vista was bashed so much by so many.

maybe it gave microsoft the incentive to push development of our beloved 7.

I still use Vista, and not the "beloved Windows 7"!

Come on ...die ....vista .....die ...already ....
I hate it .... i hate it .....
I felt that MS ..owns me a free wds7 ...at least haft price for people who "unfortunately" bought vista .
because i paid for a "pos" op ever ..in my life ...
Put it any way you like ....it's sucks ...

I liked the Taskbar of Vista compared to the SuperBar in 7.

+1. The only reason I HAVEN'T upgraded to 7.

I am sure that there is nothing wrong with 7 at all - many people like it, but it is what I have got, I can't afford 7, and so my perfectly working Vista is not worth upgrading!

In all honesty though - the same could be said for the majority of OSX bashing.

'Never used it - but it sucks'.

But some how Vista bashing - that vogue was opened to a whole raft of people who quite frankly had no business having any right to an opinion on anything technical.

"By gum, dat dere fancy typewriter has a tee-vuh attached to et. And lookie, it's running summing called Vista. I don't rightly knows about dose fancy-pants typewriter thingamabobs - but goddamn, I sure as heck know that Vista is rubbish".

And just as bad - Linux users thinking that calling Windows / Win-doze is witty. Same as M$ blah blah.

Old arguments are old.

Well said.

Good riddins i say. I used it for a bit, realized it was pants and went back to XP. still cant stand vista. was updateing me mas laptop last night, new AV, got rid of some stuff and unistalled a load of other useless things! its a nightmare compared to 7!

And as stated above its good it got such bad rep cause it was more or less a beta for 7!

Seven is deadly!
