Vista isn't fixed and MS doesn't have it easier.
Have you used Vista? It's sluggish and crash prone (I'm running it on a Core 2 Duo
2.16 Ghz laptop with 3 GB of RAM and with the most recent updates).

That being said, Apple actually has it tougher with this particular upgrade. They're not
only supporting different hardware, they're supporting two different chip
architectures, Power PC and X86. That's a massive undertaking especially since they're
not using any sort of virtualization, they're supporting the OS natively on both
platforms. MS isn't doing anything nearly ad tough with Vista.
