you are not getting the point of this article. Of course your PC is running vista fine right now. After it has been released for more than 10 months. Hardware power already increased and most bugs fixed.

If microsoft would have released vista in current state, adoption level would have been much higher. Like said in the article, vista doesn't run well in old machines. At least with XP, it run acceptably on old machines. That is a big difference cause corporations wouldn't need to buy new hardware.

hey..it's already stated in the article. Old program compatibility.

When XP was out, it does have problems running old programs but at least it run a lot more old programs than vista did. With vista, all old antivirus will not run anymore. I remember symantec and mcafee having problems getting their vista antivirus running properly.

People with business software wouldn't want to change if vista can't run their program properly. That's important for business. Home users can format their machine like crazy. Also, vista's interface need some learning which working people doesn't want to spend time doing. With the ui from 98 to XP, it's not much changes. But from XP to Vista, lots of new UI relearning. Home users can spend all the time learning but not business users.

So, stop with your home user mentality level already.

Yes...that does means vista fails. From business perspective vista failed to achieve target. That means FAIL. Just because you get F in your exam doesn't means you fail your test, is it?

Cutting things short, it's been 10 months (more in the US) since vista release. It failed like when XP was released. XP got earlier and better adoption (and definitely sales) than vista. A lot of vista sales depended on Microsoft's monopoly in the market. Or else it would have sold less.

Just because some people "have no problems" running vista means others doesn't. Look around and listen. Does more people say "Vista is great" or more people say "Vista sucks"? The sales already answer you that. Plus, the price microsoft is charging for vista is ridiculous.

Just like when it was Windows ME times. So many people complained about it. Yet, there are tons of people using Windows ME and also people saying "I am running WindowsME and I have no problems". Did windowsme failed or not?
