I actually thought that Vista was pretty good. It was slow to refresh a
Windows Explorer window for whatever reason, but it was otherwise
alright on a decent machine. I've said it before here though: the betas
were absolutely awful and when we got word that it was releasing to
manufacturer, I was very surprised. The product was nowhere near ready
to ship, in my opinion.

Low-end machines with Vista pre-installed probably had many owners ask
friends to install XP on it for them. I have no doubt about it,
actually. However, the numbers were probably not that large. Most people
probably suffered through Vista and eventually upgraded when 7 was released.

 
I upgraded to Linux from Windows XP.

You're in the minority no matter how you spin it. A lot of people just
held onto Windows XP until it stopped being supported in 2015 or moved
to 7 once it was available. Some people truly love Linux, but a lot of
the people who tried it moved right back onto Windows because something
they enjoyed was suddenly missing.

Basically the only thing I missed in Linux was Movie Magic Screenwriter, but
I ran it in a virtual machine for a few years until Trelby came out.
