Ok I feel I need to spout some of my old rhetoric a lot would most likely have heard it before
Vista was only crap in the hands of the under rammed and the impatient. I ram vista 64 bit ultimate without issue for a long time.
The need for a brief history of home operating systems is required ( from win 95)
win 95 was a giant leap massively user friendly compared to 3.1
windows 98 a small advancement but added better USB support among other things win98 second ed more stable
Win ME more of an interim release prior to xp
Now XP when released was plagued with poor driver support everyone hated it slagged it off and said it was a steaming pile of poop. However XP had something Vista didnt have. Time to mature... no other home operating system has had the amount of time XP has so it was well supported and had its 3 service packs. It was and is a stable OS
Vista was released and was plagued with the same poor driver support as XP and had quite an innovative caching system of ram. Unfortunately many systems were shipped without enough ram to allow it all to run smoothly. It had not any where near the time XP had to mature.
Windows 7 released. M$ learnt from a lot of Vista flaws the caching has gone and its a lot smoother. Bare in mind Windows 7 is built on a similar kernal as Vista and a lot of Vista drivers work on Windows 7 meaning driver support was pretty much a shoe in from the start.
Vista was no more a steaming pile of poo in its short life than XP was in its early years.....
