Yes, unfortunately that's how they got to the market first and gained a dominant role, and that habit never changed.
From what I heard, vista was a long time coming with much turmoil in the management and execution of the project--with some indications that their code base may have gotten too large for them to manage anymore. I heard they shut down the project once for a couple of months just to figure out what they were doing wrong and might have started from scratch again. But who knows, talk is talk...
I got a free vista enterprise at a microsoft product kickoff and tried it. Within an hour I had a problem playing movie dvds and couldn't fix it, so I went back. In any case, the windows 7 is the one folks are really thinking might be a good move when it is released this fall.
If it works for you, great. Its all about a good software experience. Personally, just upgraded my mobo and it can't recognize some usb devices, so the fun never really ends.
