i wonder where microsoft got these people for this "mojave experiment"? i ask cuz they must be computer illiterate and not know anything about how easy all the other windows before vista were. i just bought a new laptop with vista and i hate it. makes me wish i never bought it. i hate how everytime i close the browser it ask's me again if i want to close it or restart the browser? there are lots of other stupid lil things....what were you thinking Bill?

I bought an HP desktop with Vista preloaded in January--didn't have the time or $$ for a Mac. I don't think Vista is as horrible as people make it out to be.

However, a few months ago my MS programs started acting spastic--rulers and cursor icons flashing, constant "program not responding" messages. The culprit seems to be a Vista compatibility issue, based on my researching mostly useless troubleshooting help pages. The built-in Vista programs are lousy or don't work (except for Windows Mail).

The bottom line: I also have an ancient iMac running off OS9.2 which is still easier and more reliable to use for day-to-day grunt work.

I'd like to see an experiment with all those Mojave people--run by someone NOT associated with MicroSoft--about 6 months later, and then ask them what they think of Vista.

That said, Apple still hasn't figure out that ridiculing nerdy business types and catering to ipod dancing crazies who look zoned out on cocaine IS NOT the best way to make inroads with the hardcore PC crowd.

All I ask out of a computer is something comparable to my little '91 Honda--inexpensive reliability and dependability without all the freakzoid gizmos and extras. Wish Honda made computer operating systems and software instead of Apple and MicroSoft.

Pity you didnt read Blink by Gladwell before you conducted what is best described as a repetition of Cokes reaction to Pepsi's sip test.

That is New Coke was a failure because sipping the product leaves a different taste to actually drinking it. Check it out.

Good try but I suspect you may do better by listening to the issues raised and solving them. Like my constantly freezing task bar(frozen now by the way).

If I had the choice Vista would be well down the list.

Come out of denial just fix it

"At the same time, we recognize that noise in the market created by a vocal minority can discourage regular people from trying the product for themselves. We're confident these people would find a lot to like about Windows Vista if they spent even 5-10 minutes taking a closer look. We wanted to confirm that hypothesis and see what happens when people get a second chance to make a first impression."

I find this particularly insulting, and not especially a wise thing to say.

1. It's not a minority, it's much more than that, as your sales and attempts to recapture attention prove.

2. Among this 'minority' you have basically the top techies and technology advisors in the enterprise world. Proof: I'm not aware of any major organization that has switched to Vista. Are you ?

Hey my name is Andy

i work in a studio and also own another studio. i have to say i am very dissapointed with windows. it is too slow and exspencive to own. i am a mac user and let me tell you i is great. macs come with everything except software which you buy seperate and is a lot cheaper than windows software and also runs better. the there is windows which you buy the computer for cheap and it runs slow and it does not come with software and does not come equiped with what you need so that cheap pc becomes a slow running money pit. LISTEN ALL PC USERS SPEND THE EXTRA MONEY AND GET A MAC!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

MACS RULE!!!!!!!!!!

the problem with windows vista isnt that it does not work, because it does! the problem is the compatibility issues with other software. most of the stuff i try with vista just doesnt work! that is why i will stick with xp until microsoft fixes the problem or comes up with a new o.s. you can paint a turd blue, but its still a turd!

you no i have had vista for awhile now. when i first got my comp i wasnt to impressed with vista there were alot of bugs in it. however since then i think it has tunred into a great os. as far as it running slow and all that this comp is the fastest comp i have ever had and its a laptop of all things. but if u guys think about it every os has its buggs espeicially when it first comes out anyone remember windows mellinium or 2000. give them a break the bugs will be fixed eventually. i mean most games u play every so often u have to down load patch files to fix bugs. if u can program a better os then why dont u do so.

ed grey:

Vista uses RAM to cache frequently used programs so that they can start up faster when you need them. If you open up another program, then the least frequently used cached programs are pushed out to make room for the new program. That's why there's hardly any "free" memory. You already have the RAM, and it needs to be powered anyways, so you might as well use it for something. Caching programs is the easiest and most useful thing to do with it.

I've Bought a new pc about a year ago with Vista on it and there is never a time that when I turn the system on, that I don't comment to myself about how I HATE Vista!Also I don't know anyone that does like it.It has all these stupid pop ups that I can't get rid of.It installs trys to install updates on its own and then fails which ties up all its resources.It doesn't multi-task. It doesn't appear to be compatible with anything.I even bought a new camcorder recently(almost a year after buying the vista pc) and it is not compatible with it. I'm wanting a laptop for all my photography needs and it won't be anything with vista.So that means I will have to go to MAC or find a used laptop with xp on it.You done well with xp,but since you took xp off the market and forced vista on every one you totally destroyed my confidence in Micro-Soft.

The Mojave experiment is just another way of calling users idiots! I have tried Vista and it is "OK" there is a lot of change for the sake of change and overall I’m not satisfied and will stick with XP until something better comes along or I am forced to change.

I’m not sure how you can tell me that I must be wrong.

When I was a kid I didn’t like cheese. Mom and Dad insisted that I was just being stubborn and would constantly try and "sneak" cheese into foods that I was eating. I could almost always tell if there was cheese in my food and couldn’t eat it and sometimes got sick. Mom and Dad were treating me like a stupid kid that doesn’t know what he likes so we will trick him into liking it.

Well it didn’t work for Mom and Dad and I doubt that Mojave is going to change any minds.

I am a bit iritated about all this mojave test results. First of all, ppl who use the pc just to send an email once in a year should't be taken part of experiments as they surely will go "WOW" .. but their wow doesn't reflect the true facts. The reality is that no one should buy an operating system that just to run itself consumes 60% of the total resources of the pc. when i bought my notebook, travelmate 5620 with 2gig memory, it came preinstalled with Vista, and yes.. i did paid for the license. My personal feeling was that i've got ripped.. yes that's a fact. I could't believe my eyes when i pop-up the task manager and saw the resource consumption was nearly to 1 gig with no other applications running so i've asked myself "should i pay 1500 usd for a computer just to have the vista on and running with the nice blink, blink effects and cool desktop? neah" Vista lasted 1 day on my brand new laptop and i'll never ever intend to reinstall. Another example is my sister in law, she went out and buy a Dell notebook dualcore2 CPU and 1 GB DDR2 at 667 Mhz. one of this days i've pay her a visit and needed to send one email from her notebook. The only time that i've saw a slower box than that one.. was on the times before pentium1 CPU came out. Remember those 486 and 586 machines? LOL she has only 1 gig of ram.. and vista suck it up all, in task manager.. memory left shown available is 87K !!! Now this is Mojave! I will be more than happy to be part of your experiments, to let ppl know what they are into, not confuzing them with bla,bla words. I am sorry i didn't run Photoshop with vista on my 2 gb of ram to have a decent opinion about it. So my conclusion is that Vista might be a great OS if you have 3k usd to spend on a top edge hardware pc just to have Vista running smooth or you could stick to the old XP on a cheap box and run great. Once again for some ppl vista might be perfect but for me .. it just doesn't work. Also in my circle of friends and relatives no one is happy with vista. I can't see where do you found all those ppl having good words for this OS. Sorry for my english and i look forward to see if you will post this. Cheers
