Windows Vista was not widely adopted because of bad economy timing for Microsoft? Aside from that aspect, Windows Vista was toted to have major security improvements that was far more superior than Windows XP.
But instead of actually upgrading to Windows Vista, a lot of businesses felt that Windows Vista was just Windows XP SP2, or SP3. They didn’t see Windows Vista as the successor to their current XP operating system but wanted to wait for service packs of Windows XP. They went ahead and installed security hardening applications in their Windows XP environment instead spending a lot more on a new operating system.
Windows XP was successful because the codebase of that operating system is Windows 2000 which was already successful and stable to enterprise users.
Windows 7 is said to be the operating system that Windows Vista was supposed to be. The codebase of Windows 7 is Vista and all indications show that the operating system is bound for success.
