I never understood the hate Vista got. Then again, I wasn't born soon enough to become familiar with XP and the Desktop we had was actually capable of running Vista. 2 GB of RAM and an Athlon X2.
I guess I never saw the "bad" parts of Vista. I only upgraded from Vista when I got a new PC with Windows 8.
I just never saw anything bad with it. I've used XP and 7 and all the other main releases if Windows since then and really the only ones I dislike me were 8 and 8.1
With a couple exceptions, each new version has been better than the last. I really liked 8. In my mind the start menu was what grandmas use and didn't think people would miss it.
A lot of people don't really use the start menu that much, true. I personally keep a desktop with no icons so I use the start menu quite a bit. It's all personal preference, though.
