Ten Steps Microsoft Should Take To Jumpstart Vista [View article]
11. Make sure your product is actually ready before releasing it. I just bought a Thinkpad with Vista in Hong Kong and within a week had had it downgraded to Win XP. There have been so many complaints here about Vista that a number of dealers have got permission from Microsoft to downgrade to Win XP, and then they give you Vista recovery disks so that you can try upgrading back to Vista at some point in the future when its ready.
12. Don't make annoying, seemingly pointless changes just so it looks different from XP - such as renaming common tasks in the Control Panel and changing the file directory structure. This means that it takes your users much longer to get used to Vista.
