I've said it somewhere earlier today, I'll say it again here. I think Windows XP was bad, and that Vista was good.
But Windows in general is still absolute rubbish anyway.

Vista was great. It just needed double the ram which was standard back then.
There are still functions of Vista MIA in w11. It was far ahead of it's time.

I actually love Vista. It's what made me switch to Linux!

Vista was either magic or crap depending on your hardware/software needs. Almost no middle ground. I was supporting about 100 PC's at the time, and it was a nightmare for work, but I enjoyed running it myself.
From a corporate standpoint, skipping it for win7 was a serious win for IT.
On the upside, the latest Samsung UI on android has something pretty close to Vista's old task manager.
