Exclusive Interview: Microsoft Admits What Went Wrong with Vista, and How They Fixed It

 

it's a first step from MS to admit that vista was crap before SP1. Good! Now

all they have to do is confess that vista is really unfixable 100%.

But they wont do that unless windows7 is out first.

We sat down with Microsoft to hear the company's side of the Vista story.

What lessons have been learned following the worst

 

 

Windows launch in the company's history? Is Microsoft doing enough to regain

PC users' faith?

 

Way back in January 2007, after years of hype and anticipation, Microsoft

unveiled Windows Vista to a decidedly lukewarm reception by the PC

community, IT pros, and tech journalists alike. Instead of a revolutionary

next-generation OS that was chock-full of new features, the Windows

community got an underwhelming rehash with very little going for it. Oh, and

Vista was plagued with performance and incompatibility problems to boot.

 

Since then, the PC community has taken the idea that Vista is underwhelming

and turned it into a mantra. We've all heard about Vista's poor network

transfer speeds, low frame rates in games, and driver issues-shoot, we've

experienced the problems ourselves. But over the last 18 months, Vista has

undergone myriad changes, including the release of Service Pack 1, making

the OS worth a second look. It's time we determine once and for all whether

we should stick with XP for the next 18 months while we wait for Windows 7.

But before we answer that question, let's review exactly what's wrong with

Windows Vista.

 

What Went Wrong with Vista's Launch?

We've seen worse launches over the years, but not from a multibillion dollar

product that was a half-decade in the making. Here are the seven biggest

contributors to Vista's dud of a debut

We will save the users a bunch of time here, the bottom line of the

interview was

 

"but from a performance, stability, and security standpoint, we’re

satisfied with where Vista is today."

if they are satisfied where vista is today, that means they have lowed the

quality level to rock bottom....

 

But of course what else can they say but lies? Windows7 that will be the

corrected version of vista needs a year more to come out.

 

They have to use lies and propaganda... or else they will lose more money

Apparently you don't have a very high level of reading comprehension,

THAT WAS THE "Maximum PC's Final Word on Vista" part of the article.

 

That puts you squarely in the ignorant troll bin. You should be feeling

pretty stupid about now. I suspect we should not see any further

postings from you on this subject, unless of course you are even dumber

than you currently appear.

STFU, ok?

We know your incompetent opinion on Vista. No need to keep making a fool

out of yourself in here.

 

So get lost...once again...and don't bother coming back this time.

Don't forget euphemisms. LOTS of euphemisms.

The entirety of what they said in conclusion is this:

______________________________________________________________________

 

"Maximum PC's Final Word on Vista

 

After spending the last six weeks getting down and dirty with the OS—on

multiple hardware configurations, in both 64-bit and 32-bit flavors, and

on mobile and desktop systems—we’re willing to give it a second chance.

There are still tons of things about the OS we’re not happy

with—starting with the now-$350 Ultimate SKU and working down from

there—but from a performance, stability, and security standpoint, we’re

satisfied with where Vista is today. You no longer need to sacrifice

performance or stability if you want to run the latest version of Windows.

 

If you already have Vista, there’s no reason not to use it, but should

you go out and buy Vista today? Probably not. With Windows 7’s launch

scheduled for early 2010, we’re actually closer to that date than we are

to Vista’s launch. If you’ve ridden out the storm on XP so far, it

probably isn’t worth investing in Vista for just a year and a half of use."

Amazing how different an out-of-context quote can make things look.

Unfortunately, just as Obama's 'lipstick on a pig' comment, many people

often take partial sentences and half paragraph's and use them to try to

make their point.

 

(And NO!, I am not an Obama supporter, nor John McCain for that matter, I

was just using that as an example.)

Yep, and some folks think if they shout loud enough, it makes them

right. ;-)

It wasn't shouting, it was emphasizing. THIS IS SHOUTING!!!!!! That's

another problem with online communications......you can't hear tone,

volume, or vocal inflections.

It all depends on how you use your computer, and/or what you need your

computer for.
