Yes, that's probably true.

But there's also some things in Vista that I can just see them sitting around and thinking up supposed "improvements" to it - things that actually wound up breaking items that worked well on XP. XP was at least consistent - what worked worked, and what didn't didn't. With Vista, that's out the window (pardon the pun). With Vista you have things like folders never remembering their last size, menu options that are not consistent, folder customizations that keep resetting to default, desktop icons that disappear, network and volume icons disappearing from the systray, etc. One shouldn't have to do registry edits just for everyday functions. I have a whole bookmark category just for solutions to common Vista annoyances.
