Yeah, Windows XP experienced the same thing and believe it or not, it even has Service Pack 3 coming out of the door soon.

I dislike those who keep saying that Vista is crap, XP is much better, as they said the same thing when XP was out before SP1 and SP2 were released.
In fact, in my Happy birthday Vista post, I shared my opinion on this. (http://www.cravingtech.com/blog/2008/01/happy-birthday-windows-vista.html)

I’m just amazed at how Microsoft is using this quiz to twist our mind and tries to escape from reality that Vista is not ready at least until SP1

*pouts* unfortunatly I am not an OEM channel partner… However I was interested to read your comments in regards to the questions. It is plain to see that Microsoft have designed it as a sales pitch.

I must admit I do agree with you on a couple of your points, especially the hardware and software support (one of the major reasons I have not switched over).

However, in Microsoft’s defence I have to say that when Windows XP first came out it got a very similar welcome. I remember myself saying “Ahh XP is a piece of crap, Windows 98 for the win”… however with time and a service pack it became a relatively stable and solid OS.

I will be interested to see what happens with Windows Vista… For the moment though I am sticking with XP.

Oh hehe and thanks for the details of the competition, *pouts* shame I can’t enter it.
