Windows Vista was not a very appealing version of Windows after it was released. So is it really THAT bad? In 2025? Well that's what I want to answer. Windows Vista was released in 2007 after 5-6 years of development (early stages began in 2001), and was released to a poor reputation, spawned from instabilities, incompatibilities, and the common word. That being said, Windows Vista made many contributions to modern Windows. While Windows 7 was more popular, it was similar to Windows Vista in that 7 added more improvements and handful of new features to Windows. On the other hand, as one who doesn't have all the resources to properly get an era-respective experience, it makes the experience dry, despite it otherwise being a fairly okay version of Windows.
