confession: i think vista gets a bad rap. it served me well for a good number of years before i got a free 7 license somehow

You know he's the villain, because he's got shifty eyes.
vista was installed on $300 circuit city shitboxes with not enough RAM to run it and incompatible drivers. it was still pretty bad but it wasn't -that- bad

remember when copying loving files in vista was such a dumpster fire they had to release a service pack to specifically address it?

vista might be a good fit for someone who earned a bad reputation early on... and then continued to be a complete piece of poo poo thus justifying the earlier reputation
