Microsoft's 'new' OS Gets a Website
Last week, Microsoft conducted an experiment in San Francisco, USA where 120 users with a negative opinion on Windows Vista were introduced to a new OS to which a majority of them gave positive feedback, only to discover it was Windows Vista under the covers (covered here). Microsoft now wants to publish its results in a new website presumably with promotional tones over its so-far-flop Windows Vista operating system. Results come out in the form of videos, text and presentations. The website titled "The Mojave Experiment" can be reached here.

Maybe next time if you ever try again, post up your issues on the forum and we might be able to help solve them. After all, we are all mostly tweaking addicts and now that most of us UNDERSTAND Vista better, many of these issues can now be easily resolved.
East, you're beating a now rotting corpse of a horse. Seriously, you need to know when to call it quits. All I've seen you do is just instigate a ridiculous topic. Want to know what I mean? Here, I'll give it a shot: Hancock was terrible.
which is exactly what a lot of us do with a WIN OS - gut it, keep the shell (hell, we even change the appearance of that cause anything is better then the WIN blue, what-the-hell-kind-of-silver-is-that?!!, and the baby's-first-puke-green colors we were given with XP), and put our own goods into the mix . . .
now, everyone repeat with me . . . we control the OS . . . the OS does not control us . . . the OS is merely a tool to do my bidding . . . I bow to no OS . . .
As to Vista - tried it, used it, have worked with it . . . not all that impressed.
But, my excuses for not having upgraded yet are dwindling. Once a DX10 capable game comes out that I really want to be able to play with DX10 settings, then I'll probably go ahead an upgrade . . .
or, if they re-design the friggin audio architecture of Vista, which I personally have a problem with . . . but I'm not going to get into that here, cause I've done beat that into the ground too many times over the last few months :ohwell:
Nothing brings out the crazy in e-people like a new Windows operating system.
either way - give it a month and I'll probably have Vista installed on my system. The new STALKER will be worth the upgrade hassel . . . I hope.
good bye great audio latencies :cry:
(although, I could use the experience in dealing with Vista and Creative audio issues . . . perhaps even find better work-arounds :p)
And if you read your original post about the annoying security feature, you said it's annoying AND pointless because it's not like it would stop anything. Well, you are wrong. Yes, it's annoying, but it damn well does it's job to stop viruses, rootkits, etc. If you have it enabled, there are no rootkits and viruses that can get thru automatically. You would have to OK them first.
With their new O.S release round the corner doesn't it seem pointless to adapt to vista just for the sake of it. How many people actually use it for games and aero. XP suffices for simple browsing heck even linux suffices for browsing and all the low system requirment stuff.
Someone was bagging out vista fairly irrationally, including comments about flash drives and NTFS not working.
I am here to wonderfully prove you wrong, whoever that was.
I've tested on two intel chipset systems (with intel CPU's) and AMD 64 system (nforce chipset) and a via chipset (P4D). All running vista x64 of one kind or another, and all of them managed at least 10MB/s write and 15MB/s read.
people have only had a year to make programs for vista, while XP has had 7. of course people know their way around XP better than they do vista.
BS even if you don't use it. I don't think M$ wants you to dual boot haha (I wonder why:p)

It would be nice if they actually ASKED if you have a bootloader instead of just overwriting it.
In other words its exactly as I expected - a scripted mess. I do have to admit that I did laugh a few times at the awkward moments when they were pwned. I guess I'm turning evil :(
"The Mojave Experiment" should be a great title for the next Austin Power's movie. MS you have done it again by inspiration.
