Microsoft almost two years ago released a new operating system: Windows Vista. That operating was hyped as a great operating system, and the greatest version of Microsoft's Windows up to date. It was to be released with all these great features and improvements in all kinds of areas. But what really happened was Microsoft couldn't make the release that they wanted, so they cut back on all these features that were planned in Vista, and released it into the market. The real "Vista" with all those features that Microsoft was claiming is now going to be released in a little over a year as Windows 7 (Early January 2010). Now Microsoft is stuck convincing people that Vista is the improvement that has been hyped, that it is better, and that you and everyone else should "upgrade." But for a lot of people they don't view Vista as being an upgrade. I won't even go into the part that lists all the flaws of Vista, just analyzing the attempt to have users "upgrade" to Vista. If you want detailed information about the flaws in Vista try looking at:

jdserver.homelinux.org/vista.php
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Criticism_of_Windows_Vista
badvista.fsf.org/what-s-wrong-with-microsoft-windows-vista







(In the video they don't really tell whats great about Windows "Mojave." They have empty praises without telling us what they saw was great about it. With a great quote in there being "It looks awesome" and "It seems so easy)

Microsoft now has the Mojave Experiment campaign, with the goal being to convince people that Vista is good. The problem with this Mojave Experiment is that of course when you show case something it should look great it should look amazing. With a good advertising method, almost anything can appear to be good. With the Mojave Experiment they never actually let people use Vista, they just showed "The Best of Vista." With just a demo of it being shown you won't get the frustration of a resource hog operating system, no real improvement in security or stability, or even the lack of compatibility with a large portion of the things on the market today.

Microsoft is desperately trying to sell this failing operating system, and the time is getting shorter for Microsoft to do that, with the real release of "Vista" coming.

This Mojave Experiment for me, and many others has the negative affect. It screams "Look Vista is so bad they have to try and convince people that what they've heard is wrong and that all these people bashing Vista don't know the "true" Vista.

All I can say now is; "Microsoft failed with Vista like they did with ME, by releasing a unfinished operating system into the market too early." Will they learn from their mistake and not do it yet again? With Windows 7 (what vista was originally suppost to have in it) coming in early 2010, will Microsoft fix things up before releasing their OS into the market, or will they do the same thing as Vista and release another failure.
