A little more than a year ago, Windows Vista was finally
brought to daylight in its final, official form. As XP was getting obsolete
already (it had spent 5 years on the market as the dominating OS), a quick
transition to the new operating system was expected. Yet besides the strong
marketing campaign and hype, it simply never happened like that. Alongside
the new fancy interface and DirectX 10 support, Vista brought nothing new in
the eyes of the ordinary user. A load of bugs, unacceptably high hardware
requirements and a lot of unsupported hardware/software (the extreme example
of this being Microsoft's own Fingerprint Reader, which claims Vista support
on the packaging, but to this day has no 64-bit Vista drivers whatsoever)
altogether made users frown at the option of migrating to Vista. With time,
the situation improved, but not substantially, so Microsoft had to speed
things up a little and introduce the first service pack for Vista, which
should either remove or rectify the noticed problems to a certain
extent.
