To be honest, Windows Vista looks undeniably beautiful, no matter how unpopular it might was.

The user interface looked amazing. It looks decent even by today's standards. Windows XP looks more like a toy with its over-saturated colours, but Windows Vista appears elegant.

The stock wallpaper of Vista, "Aurora", is among the most beautiful out-of-the-box wallpapers I have seen.

Remember, Windows 7, arguably the most popular version of Windows, is a rebranding for a slightly altered Windows Vista Service Pack 2. Microsoft realized the reputation of the "Vista" trademark was ruined beyond repair, so they had to rebrand.

    Vista failed not because of it's UI. it's failed because of:

    -poor performance

    -poor driver support

    -poor treatment of developers

    We have to pay 300$ to 400$ to get our software signed, before it can run of vista. What a joke!

    Once the hardware caught up and proper drivers started being released, it wound up being a pretty decent os. Not as good as 7, definitely not as good as xp, but not nearly as bad as it's made out to be.

    Vista was slow because of hardware and OEMs forcing "Vista compatible" on every possible hardware. It ruined the version completely. Windows 7 doesnt have as many changes as people think yet they praise it as the best :D
