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

Was being the operative word. Call win 7 vista SP 3 if you must to salve a wounded ego but time marches on.

And today will be yesterday tomorrow........



Vista worked well on computers with compatible specifications & intelligent users.....

At 1st Windows Vista was a pain for me. My brother build a brand new computer, and it had all the rights spec for windows Vista, expect it kept freezing on start up. He instailled XP back... and then i mucked it up while doing a system restore so he put Vista back on.... Vista worked perfectially after that and i fell in love with it. However i had a BSOD problem after it woke from sleep

Not really - idle computers often make it harder for the devil to get down to business

And I will be saying the same thing about win 7 no doubt. There were satisfied Vista users (more so after the SP's) but there were also a large subset of intelligent users who just could not get it to run on compatible hardware.

Anecdotal evidence aside win 7 already has a larger turnover rate than vista.

It is like cats and dogs, ATI and Nvidia, mac and pc. A holy war. Not many will change their minds and all are entitled to their opinions.

For all those users that did not experience the agony I am glad for you.

My tears of empathy hurt as well :)


Oh, and a belated welcome to all XP forever! members





Realistically, in the grand scheme of things - who really gives a bowel movement about whether you liked Vista or not?


I've already wiped... I only stop by now and then to address the Klingons

Which just goes to show that fools never learn.

What's this 'were' business - there ARE satisfied Vista users alive & kicking.... & using Win 7 also!

The large subset of "intelligent " users can't by definition have had compatible hardware. Compatible with what? {not with Vista}

Anecdotal evidence aside win 7 already has a larger turnover rate than vista.
Larger turnover is a result of dinosaurs too mean to buy Vista & stuck with XP until lack of support & disintegrating, obsolete hardware drove them screaming into a new OS /PC....

Cats & dogs both have their place.... cats in dim sims......
