As others said; it was slower, bloated -Windows 7 felt like a vast

That said, if you had it on a new (at the time) computer with appropriate
drivers it was a pretty alright OS. In my opinion I like the look of it
better than I liked 7 -even though I ran 7 for a lot longer.

I keep seeing all these bad comments about Vista. Just what was

it.

Wasn’t Vista “Mojave”?
As others noted, "Mojave" was the name of a MacOS release. There was,
however, an ad campaign that Microsoft ran in an attempt to counter the
bad press that Windows Vista was getting at the time of its launch. In
it, they showed folks who had been invited to try out a new future
version of Windows in development called "Windows Mojave". After they
had seen a demo and made positive comments about it, it was then
revealed that "Windows Mojave" was actually Vista.
