Microsoft Mojave, LOL

90 percent gave positive feedback on what they saw. Then they were told that "Mojave" was actually Windows Vista.

roflmao Classic Adry :-D

 

Ya, that's just too funny! :-D

 

Vindication!!
See, told you all it was FUD and bandwaggoner bull crap.

Ok, granted there are still some things in Vista that we can do without.. but still, for the majority, it's been vindicated. No one knows why they don't like it, just that they don't like it for "some reason".. funny how they can't really explain those reasons very well

 

They dont like it because someone that has never used it, Told them they wouldn't like itrolleyes

 

The only thing I don't like about Vista is its name - without Aero, it sure don't look like no purty vista to me! :-D

 

Vista is full of disappointments for me, but there are enough good points for me to like it.

 

The only problem I would have with Vista (and it is a big one) is the older hardware issue. I have a lot of old computers and parts (mostly parts), Vista simply isn't an option for me, and there is no way I'm going to use it on my newer hardware unless there is a compelling reason.

I haven't heard anyone talk about it being eco unfriendly, but I guess that's coming next.

For this reason alone I believe XP will be around for a while. When XP came out it would upgrade well over half the existing machines (80%+?) using older OS's, this isn't the case with Vista.

 

This whole thing of what OS is better is getting to be a bunch of meaningless babble to me. (only my opinion)

This is no different than the old "Chevy is better than Ford" thing.
Both vehicles have good and bad points.
Then, there are Cadillacs.

All three of them can get me to where I want to go and it's only me that will decide which one I will ride in.

I'm not one to be swayed by talk.
I'll listen, research, and then try it out.
That way I find what I like and what stuff I heard was just drivel.
Then, I decide.

(I actually preferred Plymouth)

Yeah, XP will eventually not run on ANY newer machines. Yeah, Vista is different. Yeah, there will be newer OS's. And yeah, there is Linux.
Those are all facts. But what suits me may not suit you, and that's the way the world turns.

 

This name brings back memories of the High Plains Drifter about to rob the entire town.

 

Cool! :cool

 

LOL, too bad it sounds like a B movie sci-fi title!:-D

 

I saw the video. That was awesome, roflmao

 

What a piece of marketing that is!rolleyes:-D

 

tis funny

 

greatness

 

Hmm, where did they find those people? :confused
No one had tried Vista, but they all hated it, BEFORE ever seeing it. roflmao

 

Maybe they got their info from the Apple ads.:-D What a lame attempt.rolleyes

 

I liked the guy who said, "Why is it so fast?" LOL

Because it's not running on a P4 with 256MB RAM. Duhhh! roflmao

 

Know what I find ironic? Is that I have been bashed from one end of the net to another for saying a laptop with dang near the same specs running Vista performs well.

 

First thing I did when I got Vista, was pare down some of the processes and startups and it runs well.
I'm pretty sure the XP users have done the same thing.
But did they do that to the slow Vista they tried?

 

I made my own guide for cleaning up OEM XP/Vista and things have been very speedy for me. Check my blog.

 

I've run Vista on a single cored Venice/1 GB RAM from Longhorn through to the Vista betas, RC's and RTM and found it comparable to XP though I wasn't sitting here with a stopwatch. Now that I have a dual core, Vista still seemed about the same speed wise.

I'm getting a quad very soon, as soon as it's delivered, so I'll give Vista a shot again just to see what happens. I would have bought the Vista HP with this new build but it's not in the budget ATM as I need an extra 640GB drive rather than Vista right now.

 

An interesting take on this "experiment"

This from a blog by ZDNet's Adrian Kingsley-Hughes.

 

Does he know something we do not? That these people were not using the machine whatsoever?

 

Mojave experiment

I saw a commerical on the TV last night from Microsoft, asking people to go to Mojaveexperiment.com
It is to show people that Vista is better than what most people think.
Try it!

thanks David, I did not see the other posts, so I thank you for putting it were it belongs.
MS was greedy and they released vista before it was really completed. If they had waited and released it when the major bugs were fixed, they would have had good comments instead of all the bad ones!

Oh well.............life goes on ....

 

I am in full agreement with you because until i bought my new PC 3 months ago i was very anti Vista, my intention was to bring home the new machine and change it over to XP Pro.

I decided to have a play with it and to my surprise i like it.
now i am on some heavy meds that effect my concentration and learning is slow(to say the least) but i am impressed with Vista if not in total control of it.http://www.getsmile.com/emoticons/smileys-91853/7/whip.gif

 

I liked it better when it was in beta as Longhorn.

 

i made the plunge and installed vista ultimate, and so far nothing is much different, other that the fact i can run musicmatch jukebox (cause it's old, and windows tells me that it's not compatible with vista, but i installed it anyway)
