It may seem a harsh to include Vista in this list. It surely hasn’t out long enough to be either a success or failure, and the reviews, while unspectacular, were hardly bad.
But that’s the point, Vista is both too little too late and too much too late. Too little in the sense that there isn’t a great deal that Vista does that either XP doesn’t do already or that OSX does better. Too much in the sense that computers are 10 thousand times faster and yet all Vista does with that is over animate the opening and closing of windows and over glossify the UI.
Above all, why is it that it took more than ten years to be able to search your own computer as quickly as all of the world’s public computers, combined, with an Internet search?
