Vista will eventually work well and, yes, maybe it needed more work. More than anything, I think the thing that's hurting its sales figures is the fact that XP works so damned well that there's no need to upgrade. Until it becomes a Win98-like travesty of irritation and inability to do anything useful, people will keep using it. There's no reason not to, really.
They can harp on Linux and Mac all they want, but neither of those systems do the things many people want to do with their PC these days: play games. And, from everything I've seen, Macs don't work any better than anything else and are filled with annoying bugs to get anything to work properly.
Such is life. Vista will get better and one day we'll need it. I'm not sure if that'll be before the next OS, though.
