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

   (Aug 7, 2008 - 1:08 AM)

   Nothing wrong with Vista. I bought a HP laptop with vista installed on it, and it works fine for daily, normal home use. My cousin uses it 99% of the time and never has issues. She is not what I'd call tech savvy. lol. She's the typical end user. They just download music, watch movies, check mail, browse the web and play a game here and there. In that regard, any modern OS (Windows, Linux or Mac) would fit the bill.
   
   I bought two other cousins the eeepc 701 and it fits all their needs. I installed LinuxMint on all of my family's PC's and they haven't had any issues. They don't know the difference. That tells you something about the average user.
   
   They don't care what the OS is, all they care about is if they can go on facebook, chat on msn, get their email and watch crap on youtube.
   
   In that regard I think the "experiment" proves its point. Most people don't even know what OS they are running, what version of it (32/64bit) it is and if it sucks. They are used to what they are used to...
   
   I don't mind Vista. I know it's not as bad as other say because I've spent enough time with it to form my own opinion.
   
   Personally, due to DRM, licensing,and the locked in nature of MAC, MS and Apple are the same to me. No thanks. Linux is the turtle in this race... =)
