Windows Vista



Windows Vista (codenamed Longhorn) is an operating system that was produced by Microsoft for use on personal computers, including home and business desktops, laptops, tablet PCs and media center PCs.

Why It's Crappy

 * 1) High system requirements
 * 2) It had Digital Restrictions Management
 * 3) Lacking compatibility with Windows XP
 * 4) The misleading Vista Capable stickers on computers
 * 5) The intrusive User Account Control
 * 6) It was buggy at launch
 * 7) Lacking drivers
 * 8) in 64-bit versions, It only allowed signed drivers to be installed in kernel mode
 * 9) Lacking stability at launch

The Redeeming Qualities

 * 1) Vista's Aero style looked more appealing than the previous Luna style found in XP
 * 2) Without Vista, Windows 7 and future versions of Windows would not exist.
 * 3) With a high RAM, Vista can be brilliant.
 * 4) It spawned Aero theme,a theme that would later be a theme that almost everybody used with Windows 7.
