They complain about how Microsoft Word (okay, thats not really part of Vista, but its all Microsoft so yea) is totally different. I'll agree that I don't really like how the new Word layout is, but its just something we have to get used to. I'm sure Microsoft knows how many people complained about this, so hopefully in the next iteration, they'll at least add a "classic" layout option. I really hate it when people don't give anyone/anything a second chance! One bad product and its all hate and "OH I'M NEVER BUYING FROM THEM AGAIN!" The business world is a very scary place :( ! Oh, and with my Vista experience (well, my bro's technically... the Ultimate version...we bought it... I SWEAR *runs from popo*), its been pretty well. Like you said, I think to fully appreciate Vista, you have to have a good computer, but its not so hard to get a good comp/parts now a days. Prices are dropping dramatically (well, you'll probably only benefit if you build the comp yourself, but thats just me) I think one of the main reasons people hate Vista (according to some ease dropping =3) is because how much different it is from XP, or rather, how much they think its different from XP.

I'm not saying that the Mojave test proves that Vista is good/bad/whatever, just that it proves that you hear people bad-mouthing Vista when they clearly have never used/seen it before.

The user never actually used the OS, a MS sales rep demo-ed it to them and knew exactly how to navigate and how to demo the best features.
