nsane.forums Posted November 9, 2010 Share Posted November 9, 2010 It was 4 years ago today that Windows Vista was released to manufacturing. Little did we know then that Vista would soon become a scar on Microsoft's record and would be quickly over shadowed by Windows 7 only a couple of years later. While many will say that Vista is perfectly usable after SP1 was deployed, for many, the damage was already done. A clever campaign by Apple quickly soured Vista's image and the rest is history. But how did Microsoft announce the release of Vista 4 years ago, what did they have to say about the platform? Microsoft stated: Release to manufacturing signifies the completion of our development work and the start of the next phase for Windows Vista. Windows Vista is the highest-quality version of Windows that we’ve ever produced. We’ve had more people test more builds than previous development cycles, and the result is that we received more feedback than ever before.Whatever your thoughts may be on Vista, you cant ignore that it was the building block for Windows 7. And without Vista, we wouldn't have Windows 7, which is Microsoft's fastest selling OS in the company's history. View: Original Article Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrator DKT27 Posted November 9, 2010 Administrator Share Posted November 9, 2010 Call me paranoid but I always felt that making Vista so bad was part of M$'s plan. See how fast Windows 7 got released with all the fixing and see how it became the fastest selling OS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Night Owl Posted November 10, 2010 Share Posted November 10, 2010 Windows Vista SP1 worked fine for me when I got my laptop PC — hey, exactly two years ago today!! I really liked Windows Aero and Instant Search (search as you type). But I did a clean install of Windows 7 last December and I do like it better than Vista: the Windows 7 taskbar ("Superbar"), little bit lower RAM usage, Aero Peek, and some minor enhancements.
