I just love when some of us doesn't want to admit that Vista is a failure. Yes , it does work fine but still its a failure. Its just like the transition from MacOS 9 to MacOSX 10.0 . When OSX 10.0 was launched , many Mac fanatics said that its a total failure , its a flop - basically its screwed up big time. Over time , Apple slowly started to improve their OSX Series and now we have Leopard. Its first step by Microsoft , certainly its not a good move. Thats why they are working on improving in Windows 7. Its normal
Windows ME is a total disaster. All it does is hang and restarts every now and then. Its not me that is saying that , a vast majority of users are saying that as well. Pretty much like our political arena. That is why most of the users continued to use Windows 98 , because of its stability. Because of the total failure of Windows ME , Windows XP was born. Its something like a placeholder for Microsoft. We saw new features from Windows Me such as System Restore , Windows Movie Maker and new multimedia stuff. These are the baby steps.
But Microsoft and majority of users should at least understand that Vista is a failure in terms of reaching market share. The adaptation of Vista in Malaysia isn't wide yet , especially in government sectors whereby people are still sticking with Windows XP or Windows 2000. So maybe in the next few years , once these folks upgrade their PCs and Windows 7 is out , we might just see the change. For home users , its a big leap as it gives the 'Mac experience on a PC'
Second that, I take Sarawak gov as an example, most of the state gov agencies here did request their new oem pc (which bundle with vista) to be downgraded to xp. Windows ME is a total disaster.

Reason.. many.. one of them, their current used software (such as older version arcgis, autocad and so on not compatible with vista) which if upgraded will cost a bomb...
