I don't think Vista failed I think it was late to market. Had it been a year maybe 2 sooner and it would have exploded. XP stayed on the market too long. Users got lax and very comfortable with it. The market started to slow. Companies started grasping for cash and IT is the first to go. People will use at home whatever they use at work. Vista did not penetrate corporate so it did not penetrate the home. I believe that XP stagnated what would otherwise have been a good thing in Vista. The slow-down (even though when Vista released it was still young...) had rumblings that made many uneasy and spending just halted fast. When tech sectors crumble other sectors are 2 years behind. That's what killed Vista. 2 years after the technology sector tanked is when Vista launched.
It's all speculation but this guy is not at all on it. He needed to provide some proof and sources for his rankings and without it... just speculation on his part. It shows his distance from the world of IT to be honest.
