    Vista wasn’t that bad. The dodgy selling it on computers that couldn’t handle it was an issue (much like they still do with selling laptops with only 32gb storage).

    I still think it was one of the nicest looking - black taskbar with the start button sticking up, sidebar widgets, aero glass etc

      It was never stable for me. I remember I had a laptop that would always refuse to shut down because “shutdown.exe” was running

      You’re absolutely right about this. 7 is basically a Vista service pack that got rebranded.

      All of the “good stuff” people credit 7 with came in Vista.
