It is big & takes a lot of resources. Lot more memory.
For using all that you get - not much. It doesn't fill any need, or do anything new, that you couldn't already do with XP.
It was a new product that didn't do anything new for the consumer.
As well when it came out, they threw away a lot of older hardware. Printers, various readers, and so forth just weren't supported. So, folks got tired of buying something new that made all their other hardware obsolete; required more memory & made their computer operate more slowly - all for not actual improvement of anything to the end user.
So, it is a lemon. It probably works ok, and it does a few new things, and it probably tightened up security issues.
But, none of that concerns an end user. It seems like a down-grade to an end user.
The real issue was business users - they have rows & rows of hardware being used by a few 100 people all linked together. When Microsoft came along with Vista, and said well you'll have to buy all new computers because your old ones aren't fast enough; and all new printers and card readers because those companies are not writing new drivers for old hardware; and your own computer support people are saying there is no real benifit to all this expenditure.... Many businesses told Microsoft to take a hike, they will sit this 'upgrade' out.
Most likely by #7 which is supposed to appear in beta in a few months, many companies will again be ready for a hardware upgrade - it's been a long time now......
I remember when Windows 98 and 2000 were out but fairly new, I was going through a few businesses & many were still running Windows 3.1. I was kinda surprised, but then, it's about getting work done for least cost, and if you look ay a few dozen computers, it's pretty spendy to upgrade. For what?
