RE: One year later: Did Vista's focus on security pay off?

Mostly wrong. People avoid Vista like the plague because it breaks things that work on XP. It was released with no drivers for most hardware and no one was going to buy a new PC, new Printer, new scanner new everything just to upgrade to Vista.

Then there is the 19,000 versions of vista which nobody has any idea of why you want to pay more for one than the other.

They blew it big with the marketing for it. I had no idea they were pushing security I thought they were pushing 64 bit computing. Something that I didn't NEED to have now, along with breaking everything I waited until the sorted it out (and still am).

Security is great but the system has to be usable and Vista is not.
