3. Windows Vista was launched with
many hopes and promises but it
never came to a full swing and it no
longer gets the opportunity to do
so, at least not anymore for
corporate PCs.
However, Vista's reputation is largely ruined.
Indirectly Microsoft tries to make a better
privilege for Windows Vista with new ads at
TV. In fact, the IT-Departments will ignore
Windows Vista and it won´t change in the
future either.

6. Windows XP has been too successful.
However, there are almost twice
as many PCs in use right now.
Around 70 percent of them run
under Windows XP. The PCs in
the network of the IT-
Departments run under Windows
XP without any problem and it
will be very complicated to switch
from XP to Vista because of
compatibility problems.
7. Windows Vista is too slow. Vista
requires about 50 million lines of
code. Windows XP ranged at
startup with 35 million lines of
codes, now it is up to 40 million.
Even on the latest hardware, the
latest version of Windows XP is
more powerful than the latest
version of Windows Vista.
8. Microsoft should have never
created Windows Vista. Because of
Windows Vista, Microsoft had to
change the .Net Web Services
Strategy and its business model
from retail model to software
subscriptions.
9. Apple has had success with its ads
against Windows Vista at TV in the
last few years. Actually, this
argument is valid only in the U.S.,
Britain, and Japan because this
known TV-ad “I´m a Mac” is
running only in these three
countries.It largely affected the
reputation of vista .
