Windows Vista isn’t as bad as it Sounds: Microsoft’s Mojave Experiment

2008 July 30

It’s been said - repeatedly - that Windows Vista is a step down from Windows XP.  I’ve already taken my own stance on this - and as a user of Windows Vista, I think it’d be great if people stopped listening to what others did for a second and tried it on their own.  You know, independent thinking.  Apparently, Microsoft’s been thinking along the same lines, and launched the Mojave Experiment.

Users that have never tried Windows Vista were introduced to it under the disguise of Windows’ next operating system, codenamed Mojave.  Surprisingly enough, the users trying Vista for the first time actually liked it - and were then told it was Windows Vista.  They still liked it.

I think this was a great idea on Microsoft’s part, but I don’t want to come off as a Microsoft fanboy.  So I’ll stop endorsing Vista, and just leave you with a link and a few words: stop letting other people decide what you think, and decide for yourself.

Enjoy:

    hehe, that was a good plan on microsoft’s part. the whole “windows sucks” thing is getting pretty stupid now. (knowing from experience) most all things that goes badly in windows is due to badly made 3rd party drivers/programs and silly moves by users.

    i’m not saying windows is perfect, but neither is any other OS.

    Mikuro: Thanks for the support, I’m actually really glad to hear someone on the Vista side of things, haha.
