I think it's simply because consoles are making waves against the PC. Vista is slower and bloaty compared to XP and sadly for Microsoft this time they can't rely on the next generation of faster processors to save them and make their operating system seem better.
There's not too much room for improvement on a Windows platform that still to this day is fraught with the usual problems that every Windows OS has at some point.
Consoles have made waves in recent years with all the online play of the Wii, X-Box and PS3 and the fact they are infinitely more reliable and easy to use. Why would you want to use a PC to do the same thing?
The PS3 can make graphics far better than a PC can right now and laptops are ever more popular and usually because of the size their specs are slightly reduced to a standard desktop. PCs are more of a casual gaming platform now and the hardcore PC gamers start to get less and less.
And for Vista, it's just a piece of shit that never needed to be invented. Microsoft may have made things worse for themselves by releasing it.
In the past Windows was mainly for playing games, going on the Internet, watching movies, playing mp3s etc, there wasn't really any other way to do it. But there's now so many other ways to do these things, especially in regard to consoles. Less and less reasons to need a PC. I use my phone, my DS etc to do things I used to do on Windows.
Even in this community people have resorted to making mostly puzzle games, it's only a matter of time I think before we see a drastic change in PC gaming. I think next gen PC gaming has been bad for over 10 years and should have died long ago.
