1. Comment - Is Microsoft's Mojave Vista experiment backfiring with users?

   (Aug 13, 2008 - 6:09 PM)

   This campaign will backfire. This smells of a last ditch effort by Microsoft to make Vista popular. I really wonder who Microsoft is hiring for their ad campaigns, because the Vista campaign has missed the one most important aspect every new product needs desperately: innovation! Without innovation, nothing flies even if you're the most powerful software company in the world.
   
   How many people have seen Windows before? Speaking of Vista, how many people have seen the Apple features that have been implemented in the Windows Vista OS? With that said, I think you know where I'm going with this. Windows Vista has missed the boat on innovation, and Microsoft has failed in providing novelty to the masses. People want to say, "Wow!?" Apple is making that happen. Microsoft is not. Also, the very core of the Windows OS is very closely reliant on Internet Explorer. Some say there is a way to remove Internet Explorer, but - in my opinion - removing IE would be creating a whole new Windows OS. This has always been a problem.
   
   Last, Unix based OSes (i.e. Linux and OS X) will always be able to expand with novel ideas and morph into something that makes users go "wow!" In essence, Microsoft has backed themselves into a corner, and they sadly will have to pull off an entirely new and exciting innovation in order to heal the wounded expectations of the world's Windows users. Surely, that will be like climbing Mt. Everest, but with all those billions of dollars, I know you probably could call some kid at MIT to come out with an all new Microsoft operating system worthy of a gander by a buyer here or there. Peace!
