I think the main reason it failed is not because they had so many versions, but a collection of many reasons. MOST people had no clue what each version was about. Microsoft tried to hype vista early, and no one (including developers) knew what to expect. Like Windows 2000, drivers were again questionable. In all, Vista was a complete disaster as far as the release goes. Microsoft is solely to blame for this. I myself used Vista for a whole 4 days, and downgraded.

By the way, you have Office Professional 2007 in the picture instead of Vista Enterprise. That’s a great point, but I doubt it’s the root of why Vista is a dud.
