Technologizer has an interesting article about why Windows Vista failed, and it provides 16 reasons why this is the case. A few of those reasons reveal a certain lack of understanding, but a more pressing issue is that while listing these reasons individually is interesting, Vista's failure in the marketplace can be explained in a much more compact fashion.

You raise an interesting implicit point; the big problem was that Vista spent too long in development chasing too many long hop ideas in divergent directions over poorly managed timescales.
It is problem entirely attributable to management and perhaps the arrival of 7 indicates some of these issues may have been addressed.
The notable thing is that the BSDs (amongst others) have avoided this to a very large extent.
