[QUOTE="AtlBo, post: 800713, member: 32547"] Wish I had a Vista key. The small amount of time I have spent on it left me with the impression that it was the best OS from MS as far as PC operation goes. I can see why it would have frustrated IT and Network managers though. Too many bells and whistles for them. I would like to see what would have happened if MS had split development into two branches, like Vista (Longhorn) and Vista->Windows 7. Maybe further development in the Vista (Longhorn) style could have produced for home operators better than W10. The Windows 7 line would have been fine for large networks, maybe with another service pack for W7 or an upgrade for the OS like SE for Windows 98, all of which aimed at securability. Vista definitely has its highlights for me. Then it's back to the reality of limited hardware compatibility and limits with .NET and DirectX. Frustrating, and that's why I think it would be interesting to see where things would have gone if home and office versions after Vista had been on completely separate branches of Windows development...
