For some definition of "successful" (i.e. I haven't bought Vista nor even 
installed it on a PC that could have had a free upgrade).  I am just 
repeating what I read in some tech magazine which I thought would be 
neutral.  I would, of course, love for it to be wrong.  For the most part 
Vista looks to me like what Mac had at least 5 years ago, at a fraction of 
the speed.

But the article they had on the DX10 (or whatever it is) showed quite a 
difference.
