I guess the timeframe between 10 &amp; 11 skewed my view of the timeframe between Windows versions.,(reply>), the heavy OS graphics was only for the average setup for peoples at the time.,(reply>), @FastSloth87 The service packs for windows vista really fixed most of the major issues peoples were experiencing, also the main problem with vista was the heavy OS graphics and lack of public knowledge of how background processes work.,(reply>), @InterStorm Exactly!,(reply>), @Diego I guess I'm the luckiest guy in the world then, cuz I remember back in the day I used to triple boot XP, Linux and every major leaked version of Windows Longhorn (what Vista was called before going Gold), and it always worked fine, no issues. Then when it finally released I ditched XP and everything still worked fine! I had the same experience with every Windows version, even now with 11, everyone bitches about it and I'm here, running it fine and dandy since launch on a 4th Gen i5.,(reply>), @InterStorm Windows Vista development was a disaster for Microsoft and the human race. (Joke aside, they really screwed up there. Although the OS younger brother Windows 7 took most of the good stuff from Vista and turned it into one of the best OS ever)
