Windows 10 Release; July 29
-
We had over 100,000 people using it. I'm sure many had problems. But in the hundreds of people that I was in contact with I can't remember hearing of any complaints. And we ran it from nearly right at release until Windows 8 was out for a bit.

@dafyre I used Vista for nearly six years at a big bank and never had an issue with it. Was rock solid when patched and used as directed. There were some issues on first release, which was not too surprising considering it was such a leap into the NT 6 family from the NT 5 family and there had been so much time in between. But by the time that Windows 7 was out, Vista had all of that stability back ported. They were really on parity pretty much the entire era. Considering Windows 7 was only a minor update to Vista, it is not surprising that nearly everything made it back to Vista.
Hey me too. The only reason I moved to Windows 7 at work when I did was because my HD crashed. I loved Vista at the time.

I wouldn't say that I loved it, but it was perfectly fine. I had Windows 7 and then 8 at home and would have preferred that they stayed up to date. But it was better than XP and no one seemed to have any issues with it.

Well I only loved it until Windows 7 came out.
Vista did have issues on initial release, most of which were completely fixed in SP1.
The strange thing for me was that OEM installs for the only time in history actually worked better than formatting and starting it over and only installing the drivers from the manufacture.

I also liked vista but it was really slow on even moderate hardware for the day - that's what killed it more than anything else IMHO. XP could run circles around it for speed on cheaper hardware.
