Not just hardware, drivers. Driver support was abysmal. On a decent hdd with updated drivers vista was fine.

    yeah because driver were previously allowed to do whatever the hell they wanted with the system and vista introduced a baselevel of security.

    the rollout was a mess, the os really wasn't. which is a surprise considering the development story.
