I don't defend Vista per se. I skipped it and jumped to Windows 7.
By the way, how many times did Apple users have to re-buy their software?
From Mac OS 9 to X? From Power Pc to Intel? From 10.4 to 10.5?
Microsoft tries to hold its backward compatibility. It's clear that this comes with some trade-offs (or usability issues).
Apple on the other hand just said: F**k the customers, we throw all old stuff away. Apple customers apparently like to re-buy everything.
