This applies to almost all operating systems. OSX was a joke until about a year after its launch. Not because it was a bad operating system but because three wasn't much support. No matter when you launch it will still take time to get everyone on board. This isn't so much a testament to Vista's quality but just what is typical of OS's in general.

Same seems to go for video game consoles. I've made up my own rule (many people have similar ones) that is the "rule of 15 months." You typically have to wait 15 months after a console is launched before you really start getting into the meat of what it has to offer.

I entirely agree with the author that you should hold off on getting Vista. Especially after the beta was over and MS stopped giving away free copies to people that report bugs, even enthusiasts don't have much of a reason to get it.
