    The issue with Vista was almost solely the lack of driver support for anything.

    Vista caused a lot of vendors to slowly but surely start updating drivers for their products and enabled Windows 7 to have a much smoother launch.

    Really Win7 stands on the shoulders of Vista.

      What also completely screwed Vista was all of the XP era PCs getting a Vista Ready sticker slapped on when they very much did not have the hardware to run it properly.
