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.

That really is the crux of the problem. There is no obvious advantage, or killer feature if you will, to Vista over XP. MS rewrote a lot of the NT kernel for Vista and drastically improved security, but fine grained control of the audio server isn't something that's going to push product, to most people.
For instance, I only moved off of Windows 2000 when it was obvious XP handled wireless networks better.
