Over the years, Vista has witnessed criticism from several quarters. However, for the first time the operating system was laughed off by none other than the company's CEO.
Ahead of the launch of its new operating system Windows 7 in October, Microsoft laughed at Windows Vista which according to its CEO tarnished the company's reputation. At an event, Microsoft chief executive Steve Ballmer said that the company never recovered from the poor performance of Vista.
Ballmer was qouted as saying, "We got some uneven reception when [Vista] first launched in large part because we made some design decisions to improve security at the expense of compatibility. I don't think from a word-of-mouth perspective we ever recovered from that."
