    No. It was a crash test dummy for windows 7.

    It was a beta that wasn’t stable.

      it was as stable as windows 11, but the uac system and other security chnages broke a lot of apps, including some system services. As soon as the apps adapted it became pretty decent.
      About the performance, win7 isn’t lighter than vista, vista just came out too early

        Windows 11 has been pretty rock solid for me.

        Vista was not and working in IT for a long time I saw enough examples of vista to never recommend it.

        XP was better at everything until windows 7 came along.

        It doesn’t matter how light an OS is if it isn’t stable.

        Windows 11 is in its beta phase. Like windows 10 was until 2018.

        I wouldn’t call vista successful. Windows 7 replaced XP, Vista did not.

        Like I said, it was a beta.
