Windows Vista's reputation as being subpar can be summed up with the following:
* Issues recognizing older hardware, or otherwise known as "Plug 'n' Pray". * Compatibility issues with older software. * The number of services that run in the background. * User Account Control (UAC). Some of these issues are gradually improving as Windows releases updates. Software and hardware companies are also improving by releasing updated drivers and/or firmware for their products.
