Windows 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.

I do have to say, that with the stuff I do, I found Vista on my previous 4GB machine to be sometimes subject to extreme bouts of disk thrashing. But XP did the same thing under similar workloads. But x64 and 12GB of RAM have solved all my problems.
