Do we forget so easily?

When Windows Vista was first released there was a degree of unhappiness
in the user community. There were three main causes of complaint:

1. Vista was slow and bloated, and required more memory and more
processor (particularly graphics processor) power than its
predecessors.

2. Vista was encumbered by a troublesome and intrusive activation and
licence management system.

3. Vista contained hooks for Digital Rights Management, a set of anti
piracy technologies that are demonstrably incapable of preventing
large-scale piracy though they can obstruct and impede legitimate use.

Now we have Windows 7. Everyone seems to love Windows 7 because the GUI
layer has been streamlined so that it seems faster than Vista (though
not as fast as XP). Activation and DRM are still there -- they've both
been cracked, so it's only the law-abiding and legitimate Windows users
who have to suffer them.

Are we so dazzled by the improvements that have miraculously been
wrought in the GUI layer -- making it only slightly fatter and slower
than two versions ago -- that we are blinded to the continuing presence
of the second two major objections to Vista? Are our memories really so
short?

Perhaps someone can help me out, I can't seem to understand it.

Cheers,
Daniel.
