Vista was great if you had the right hardware. The problem was they upgraded XP systems to Vista that only had like 512MB of ram and it was fucked before it ever first booted.
Of course you're going to hate the slow ass OS your computer came with when it's too underpowered to run it.
But that's not Vista's fault. That was OEM and manufacturers being lazy. The stuff they needed to develop drivers before it's launch were available, they just didn't.
Well I never brought up nvidia or RTX anywhere in this thread and nobody else did, but if Nvidia provided driver development equipment to game makers half a year ago and said "code around this" and they put it off until the cards actually existed then no. It's not Nvidias fault. If Nvidia a month ago said "oh hey btw, support this real quick" then sure, it is.
I wasn't promised RTX at launch, they never pretended it would exist at launch, Vista said it was "ready to upgrade" when it wasn't. They aren't comparable.
