You're right about Vista, but 7 was a mature product on release.

Was Vista better than XP? Is Windows 7 better than Vista? Am I right in
that Windows 7 came out to be Vista with the bugs worked out? And was
Microsoft already working on Windows 8 when 7 came out? One thing I would
like to see, if Microsoft insists on continually coming out with a new OS
time and time again, is that they quit rushing them to market before the
bugs are worked out, and give us a solid stable product that has thoroughly
been tested and proven to be stable and reliable, rather than a junky
troublesome buggy product. I know the task would be massive, and I know it
would take an enormous amount of time and effort, but it would sure do a lot
to regain the credibility they once had, and it would also be more readily
received by the customers.
