    I was 12 years old when Vista launched, and as a kid who didn't care or know about any technical faults in the OS, I always really liked Vista. In fact, both XP and Vista are incredibly nostalgic for me. Playing World of Warcraft: Burning Crusade on the family PC with Vista on it, that bubble screensaver. Just everything about the design was really pretty. And I don't recall my parents complaining too much about it. It was a good time.

      I was 7 years old when Vista launched and I feel the exact opposite about it. I still remember the constant program not responding screens and how it felt like the operating system was trying it's very best to make you miserable. I only had it on my own laptop (bought in 2010 I think) and with the older family computer running xp working way better it really left a horrible impression.

      But there are lots of free, professional grade video editors out there now of all skill levels. Da Vinci Resolve is free and now arguably better than Premiere Pro if you want to really edit video...I found it easy enough to move from Movie Maker to full time use after just a few hours of using it, though it's deep enough you could spend years learning all it can do.

I threw a cheap SSD, extra RAM and a used GT 610 in it (had these parts laying around, but combined cost would have been around £40 UK if I'd had to buy them), and it ran Windows 10 absolutely perfectly. Pretty good for what was at that point a 12 year old computer. We gave it away to someone who needed it for their kids during the various lockdowns of 2020.

It's got similar blur effect and it is slowly being implemented more into the shell than Aero was (though Aero when released was already have consistent UI than it is currently at Windows 10, which is still in-progress).
      It was gone during Windows 8.X, or at least more like disabled since Aero elements technically exist even in Windows 10. They just became flatter on Win 8.X and less flatter on Win 10.

    I had zero issues with Windows Vista. I had a mid-grade system that had way more than the basic requirements for the OS. Maybe I just had the right combination of hardware, or maybe I was using peripherals that had updated drives; I'm not sure. Regardless, I never had Vista crash constantly and I was able to run everything I needed with a new pretty OS. I never understood how so many people had a problem with it, because I thought it was pretty decent. Also, as you said, when I ungraded to 7, it felt very similar to Vista with a new theme.

      The fact you had a built machine made a difference. A guy I was going to school with at the time also loved it and had an insane built computer. He also adored Vista. The problem ultimately was that if you didn't have good hardware, the OS was horrible. I worked in remote support at the time and would cringe because SO many people who had Vista were running it with the minimum requirements for the OS.

    I mean, the main reason nobody talked about Windows system requirements from Windows 7 to 10 is that they barely changed since Vista. On the Japanese image board 2chan, "XP-tan" - A manga personification of the OS - was often depicted with an empty rice bowl with "memory" written on it. She was considered resource-hungry and yet Vista required SIXTEEN times more bytes of RAM. No wonder it left such a bad first impression.
    Also, not having drivers ready on day one of a massively delayed OS release is such an Nvidia move.

    One major factor missed was that Vista was at the forefront of the 32-bit to 64-bit transition. Almost everyone was using 32-bit XP, and while MS released an x64 edition of XP Pro in 2005, almost nobody used it. Vista was out just at the time PCs with 4GB or more of RAM started being sold in consumer and business PCs, and running a 64-bit Windows because required. However, 64-bit drivers for a lot of hardware simply didn't exist, and took a while to come out for existing hardware, if at all. Windows Vista 32-bit could use the XP drivers, but Vista 64 couldn't. So a lot of people brought home new PCs, pre-loarded with Vista 64, to find that their existing printers and other peripherals didn't work on them.
    This also affected a lot of older programs, which may be only 16-bit. Vista 32 could run 16-bit programs, but Vista 64 couldn't. So a lot of "legacy" software, especially in the enterprise space, was left running on XP PCs.
    By the time Windows 7 was released, the transition to 64-bit was largely complete. A lot of 64-bit drivers existed at this point, and people were more likely to have gotten rid of any older hardware/software that would only work on 32-bit Windows. So Vista weathered the brunt of the "growing pains"of the 64-bit transition, and Windows 7 got to be released and used without a lot of people complaining about their older hardware/software "not working."

      There are so many hardware reasons that made Vista come off worse than it was. Comparing the cheapo supermarket PCs I had for XP SP2 and Vista, it was stepping from a P4 Celeron with 512 MB RAM to a dual core Core-derived Pentium with 3 GB. The Pentium still holds up today in an emergency and runs Windows 10 just fine while the P4 is practically unusable. The step from having cheap laptops as fast as two-year-old high end desktops means that the upgrade experience was very different from earlier versions. On the other hand, it means the new Vista-derived OSs hold up much better on new hardware. XP was running fairly well then but doesn't do any better on newer hardware whereas Vista/7 can still take advantage of the latest hardware.

    The main problem was that they were coming from windows xp and those pc's generally had 256mb or 512mb ram. Vista loved memory since it could load more programs into memory and back in the day 2gb of ram was so expensive so not many people could afford it well atleast here in southafrica. So basically it ran well with more memory and if you were lucky to have drivers for your hardware.

For a year or two after that, there were a lot of Vista Basic machines in the market that had no real hope of running right with the hardware they had as the manufacturers ran through components meant for budget XP machines. That kinda thing in a new purchase goes a long way towards building a bad reputation.

It's the people hanging on to classic Win32, and particularly the x86 version, apps which bloats Windows today. Most Linux / Unix, even Mac OS Mojave have dropped support for 32-bit applications these days. If development is active, the app can be rebuilt for x64 from source with little to no change at all. If not, you probably shouldn't be using it on a machine exposed to an internet connection. The native x86 version of Windows 10 isn't *too* flabby on disk, but it's big enough that you don't get much memory left from your maximum 3.5Gig. (unless you have an x86 system which will boot UEFI and use PAE properly, and they're few and far between)

    Personally Vista was fine in my experience, although I had built a system strong enough to run it right. As LTT touched on, part of the problem was Vista was indeed resource heavy, but that PC manufacturers were selling crappy spec'd systems with not enough RAM or CPU power to properly run it right. So it further got a bad rap because that's all your average consumer bought, cheap prebuilts.

      My system back then never had an issue with Vista.
      It's amazing what a decent enough CPU (literally an Athlon 3800, then a Phenom x4), 2gb of RAM, and a discreet (even if objectively shitty) GPU could do in the era of systems being sold with 1gb or even 768mb of RAM but carrying that _Vista Compatible_ sticker.
      People that installed it over their existing XP machines but didn't check the hardware req's beforehand sure got loud about it being garbage. SP1 helped a lot, but disabling aero and the gadget sidebar were always the things I'd recommend to folks.

      I bet none of you are talking about a laptop as opposed to a desktop PC. Cause laptops back in the days, I felt, suffered the worst from Windows vista since most manufacturer had vista as the default OS and the average priced ~$800 to $1000 for a laptop was not ready for vista.

      Intel is one of the big reasons why vista seemed so bad. Intel GMA 950 (945 aswell) was to slow and lacked essential features to properly run Aero, but intel FORCED microsoft to give them the full "vista capable" sticker. Intel didnt feel right to get the vista basic sticker, as that video chip was so common at that day.
      Also, add to this that the computer came with GMA 945 video, they also had 128, or even 64, mb of ram. Thats riny for even windows XP, making computers with that ammount run vista like crap.

      @n z the biggest problem was that XP was advertised to run on 256MB whit 512MB as recommended at launch.
      problem was 512MB was in practices the minimum whit 1024MB as he recommended. and XP was a 32 bit system meaning 2.8ish GB was the cap. and 2038 as its late date before its calendar goes bonkers).
      added to the fact that many system at XP launch day ran windows98 and 95 that had a sort of cap at 256+64MB(it had a really weird RAM cap) I think resulting in most system only having 256MB at best. 256 been the bare minimum for XP when it should be 512... que XP crashing because of out of RAM errors.

      ​@Rock Light​ That's your experience.
      (I had the near-reverse experience, with Vista being near perfect and W7 having constant crashes and OS problems, but it turned out that it was a graphics problem).
      I Don't deny your PC problems, but this is not what made vista's bad reputations. Frequent réinstallations and getting hacked are not at all specific to Vista (in fact when it comes to malwares XP was definitely worse).
      However, vista's specific problems (the ones that got it a bad reputation) were:
      -underpowered PCs receiving the "vista capable" label. The PC industry had stagnated during the XP era as there was no urge to keep Moving forward, and so it was underprepared for Vista. (it is telling that low-end PC specs nearly quadrupled between '07 and '08)
      -driver compatibility problems (Vista had a new driver system that didn't mesh well with most early 2000s quick&dirty drivers).
      -the user account control. This was a necessary security measure (for all the users out there downloading every cr*p they found online), but it was quite annoying, especially if you knew well what you were doing.
      -"memory hog". (vista was not actually hogging the memory, it was managing it in an unfamiliar way, but it still looked like memory hog)
      -maybe, the implementation of DRMs. I mean, the FSF made a lot of noise about it in '07, but barely anyone else mentioned it. It was probably not the problem.
      However, crashes and malwares and BSODs are definitely not vista's specific problem.
      In fact, the BSOD is not a problem, but a solution; and if Microsoft removed it from Windows, then you'd be able to continue working (without saving of course) or playing or whatevering for a couple more minutes and then your PC would commit autodestruction.

      @@sqawkypig1008 I honestly liked the Windows 7 UI more than Windows 10, and a lot more than Windows 8 & 8.1 UIs. That is, until some parts of the Win 7 UI stopped working after installing updates (even with a fresh Win. 7 install). I also liked that the driver updates were separate from the security updates. Even back then, Window's reputation for selecting the correct driver when updating was a little dicey. If Windows said a driver was out of date (for certain components), I would check the website for the hardware and often enough, the driver that Windows suggested was also out of date. There were even a few cases where Windows would replace an up to date driver with an older one. Windows Update does a better job now (and because some hardware vendor websites suck), that I now kind of trust the driver selection. Yet, that's more because some hardware vendor websites' support pages suck; they suck so bad even their component search features will show different results based on which browser you're using (MSI).

Only SYSTEM could do that and you couldn't become SYSTEM no matter what you tried. Their solution to this was to literally reboot the machine and try again.
