Thanks for the summary Adam,
I sometimes I wonder if Vista was Microsoft's version of "New Coke". Not that I'm saying there is a conspiracy theory here.
But I have to wonder whether MS planned Vista as a calculated risk and that they would have to come behind with a huge bang like 7.

Imagine if they put everything that is 7 into Vista. It would have all been lost in the bad press and difficult transition period.

This way they can put the lumps behind them and keep the good stuff seperate under the "we're back on track" image.
