    Vista is perfectly stable on my system.

    Current Up Time: 232:59:11

    That's nearly 10 days since I had to restart because I updated my video drivers. I can easily have it running for a month or longer without any issues.

    Tis true, they has made it work more or less.

    The problems were when it first came out.

    Replace the word "Vista" with "XP". It was the same when XP was first released. Everything you've said about Vista was what everyone said about XP when it first came out.

    I was an early adopter of XP when it first came out, when people hated it as badly as they hate Vista now.

    Yep, Windows 98 be probably be the most stable at release out of the windows line.
    Win 2000 was pretty much useless. (We didn't even bother to re-engineer that one.)

    Win2k was the most stable OS Microsoft has ever released to the general public.

    It was amazing, however some manufacturers never made drivers for it. I had to throw a $1000 professional scanner into the trash bin because of it.

    Actually they were develop Win2K and ME at the same time. XP was being developed, but still in very early stages... intstead of releasing it, they decided to hold it off and release ME instead. They started work on Vista before XP SP1 even came out.

    Win2K was basically XP without all the bells and whistles. Most people didn't like it because it wasn't consumer oriented. It was great for someone who was tech savy. It was very streamlined and free of extra bloatware.

    If they made Win2k compatible with XP drivers, there would still be plenty of people using it. MS intentionally changed the driver design so that you couldn't easily port the drivers. They wanted people to buy their new product. It worked.

    This was actually planned further ahead of time. (Even though XP was in it's earlier stage they were planning on raising XP up.)

    Yes, at one point ME and XP were roughly at the same stage in development. To not waste development money, MS pushed the better product release date much ahead (in the future) of ME so they could at least make some money back on it before replacing it with XP.

    Even though Vista was never really horrible, with the exception to UAC and the file transfer issues, I think MS has actually enjoyed the bad reputation to help move people to Windows 7. It's just a revamped Vista... they just decided to change the name, rework all the bad coding additions to the NT core they added between Win2K and Vista and release it with a slightly updated UI. Of course, it requires you to have Vista to patch it... isn't that an obvious reason why. Because it isn't really a standalone product, I'm sure it's over 90% of the Vista code base. lol

    I actually missed how stable and efficient W2K actually was. It used so little system resources and ran most XP software much faster than XP could. It just became a burden getting all that XP stuff to run on W2K even though the majority of the OS was still nearly identical. QQ

    Just based on a very small and not entirely random sample, it looks like it's about 45% done at this point. If that's at all accurate, it might not be done until the end of the month.

    That's just a guess though, and it's based on a very small, and possibly poor dataset.

    There's no point in sending in a ticket until it's done. I'm assuming that there will be some announcement when it's complete.

    For what it's worth, I only got my achievements added late Monday.

    PWI fixing something in less than a month? You must be dreaming.

    They are as slow as their Chinese counterparts, you know?

    What was the point of releasing something that is not even half finished to begin with?

    They never even fixed Profile Beta... it's like their web developers get excited with a project, dump it out when they're half done and then move on.

    No clue. Wish I knew.
