I used Vista deeeeep into Win7's lifespan. Not even SP1 lol, which I updated to very late. Only reason I even updated to 7 is because my Vista install just stopped booting one day, so I grabbed a 7 ISO and upgraded.

I've seen way too many machines absolutely choke and die on it (one of my IRL friends had the absolute worst Vista machine I'd ever seen, just a balls slow, super unstable piece of shit), but my machine ran great. A lot of it is the massively inflated system requirements vs XP (like 10x the disk and 8x the RAM for a useful system), but a lot is shitty drivers from early in the OS's lifespan.
What a fucking mess of a release...
