well, at least effect MS marketing.
Vista, called Win 7 or whatever, is a mess. Many of the add-ons here must literally SLOW THEMSELVES DOWN in order to work in vista. (To me that is insane).
Also, the problematic 'security' issues were bypassed by a no-longer secret back door that MS programs used to bypass. Now, virus etc., can use same back door, so all that is left is headache and annoyance for legit programs, and many not working progs etc....
Edited: on the upside, MS invested in the marketing and so vista/win7 LOOKS very cool.
