Yes, I agree, and that was exactly my point. That's why I commented that Vista was a marketing failure, not a technology failure, noting that the same set of technologies are in Windows 7 which is being well-accepted. The techologies in Vista are not a failure, only the product itself is. For those who would disagree, please note that I am not saying the product is not good. I use it on two of my three computers. I am saying that it did not succeed in the marketplace and it didn't.
