Everyone's been talking for what feels like an eternity about Vista being a major blunder, and everyone has their theories as to why it happened. So why would John C. Dvorak be any different? He's got 11 reasons why the OS was destined to flop.

I previously installed Vista on an AMD Ahtlon64, 3000+ with a gig of RAM and a POS 5200 Geforce card. I nuked it and put XP back on within a week. It just performed like crap.
I bought an IBM Thinkpad T60 and installed Vista Ultimate on it, updated the firmware and drivers from Lenovo and have had no issues at all. It runs very fast (machine is a dual core 2Ghz, 2 gigs of RAM with an X1400 ATI vid card). I use it daily and have no complaints. I'm very happy with Vista on this machine.
My older hardware? not sure I'd touch it. On newer hardware with proper driver support it seems very stable and performs quite well in my experience.
I'm willing to believe that my experience is possibly not the norm. lol.
