Industry analysts differ on the importance of shipping Microsoft's Windows 7 operating system before the 2009 holidays, but agree that the release of the OS needs to be swift and smooth to avoid the sins of Vista's past.

When XP was released in 2001, there was countless whining about it. It was slow, Luna was ugly, it was bloated, etc. 6 years and 3 service packs later, people are now unwilling to leave XP.
The problem, as I see it is two fold. One, people just love a good whine. Two, there are issues with any OS that MS releases and they need a few service packs to get it running smoothly. Vista is working great for me, and I think that if MS just focused on Vista and push out a few more service packs, Vista will become the new XP.
A good and stable platform is great for both users and developers. I'd like Vista to be around for as long as XP has.
