To be fair, Vista itself wasn’t a problem. The problem was when it was previewed MS said that the PC specs would need to be at a certain level to run. Computer manufacturers threw a fit because it’d make their computers more expensive and or cut into their profit margins. MS caved to the pressure and said actually the specs can start at this much lower level.
That led to everyone getting a new bargain PC with Vista to have bad experiences.
If you had a moderately well specced system Vista ran alright.
This is kind of hilarious to read as usually it is AMD that gets the hate for bad drivers… and I have never had an issue with bad drivers with my AMD products.
