I'm still running Vista, what's wrong with it?

Probably this whole list, there is lots of code shared with Windows 7, but who really knows? Nobody is checking against Vista anymore.

I've actually heard mostly positive nostalgia for Vista recently. I think it might have been a situation where they released earlier than they should have, and so only the later versions were worthy.

But also, do you even Linux, bro?

Edit: Other comments are saying it just had really high hardware requirements.

Specifically high hardware requirements that they absolutely lied about

From rumors, it's a lot less optimized than 7. Think of it as a beta version for 7. Like 11 is a beta for 10, or something.
