Windows 7 Migration
Bloggers Continue to Bash Vista Like Its 2007
Note to bloggers, journalists, and everyone else with a keyboard: It's over. The Vista-bashing parade has ended, so get out of the street already. Calling the OS a "loser" or "lemon" at this point is a surefire way to embarrass yourself.
Microsoft rushed Vista out the door before it was ready. Hardware vendors weren't ready. Software vendors weren't ready. Users weren't ready. Businesses weren't ready. By 2008 most of Vista's problems had been ironed out, but its reputation was already toast.Really? Wow, we had no idea. To be fair, Methvin's main point is that Windows 7 should avoid most of the problems that dogged Vista. That's great, of course, but let's not forget that many of 7's best assets--security, stability, compatibility, etc.--derive from its Vista core. In fact, if you look closely within Methvin's eye-rolling Vista diatribe, you'll find the one statement that's worth remembering: "Windows 7 owes a lot to Vista."
