It was being hailed as the best software ever to land on our computers by some vocal microsofties on some forums at that time.
When it became clear that half the things promised (dbr filesystem, etc.) weren't delivered or were sub-par to promises Vista was then hailed as "foundation for the future... when you build a house you first dig foundations then put walls and a roof".
