Windows Vista (codenamed Longhorn) is an operating system that was produced by Microsoft for use on personal computers, including home and business desktops, laptops, tablet PCs and media center PCs. Development was completed on November 8, 2006, and over the following three months, it was released in stages to computer hardware and software manufacturers, business customers and retail channels.

Bad Qualities
more coming soon...
 * 1) Surprisngly, for a computer that came out after Windows XP, this computer is very...very...very slow, in a way that even Windows XP is faster than Vista. Sometimes, if you even click on something, the computer will automatically crash. And when it does, every window will close, and you will lose all your progress.
 * 2) It can't run games very well. Sometimes, it won't even work. No matter how many times you install it, whether you download the ISO file or buy the actual product, it'll never work.
 * 3) Like Windows ME, Microsoft rushed Vista; which could explain the problems with the OS.
 * 4) High system requirements at the time of its launch.
 * 5) It had Digital Restrictions Management.
 * 6) It lacks compatibility with Windows XP.
 * 7) The intrusive User Account Control.
 * 8) It was buggy at launch, but was fixed with Service Pack 1 & Service Pack 2.
 * 9) It was lacking drivers.
 * 10) In 64-bit versions, it only allowed signed drivers to be installed in kernel mode.

Good Qualities

 * 1) Vista's Aero style looked more appealing than the previous Luna style found in XP.
 * 2) Without Vista, Windows 7 and future versions of Windows would not exist.
 * 3) With at least 2GB RAM, WDDM-supported GPU and 1.8GHz, Vista can be very stable.
 * 4) It spawned the Aero theme, a theme that would later be a theme that almost everybody used with Windows 7.
 * 5) Service Pack 1 & Service Pack 2 fixed the bugs.
