Time for a Vista Do-Over?

Posted by samzenpus on from the better-luck-next-time dept.

DigitalDame2 writes "'There's nothing wrong with Vista,' PC Mag editor-in-chief Lance Ulanoff tells a Microsoft rep at this year's CES. 'But you guys have a big problem on your hands. Perception is reality, and the perception is that Vista is a dud.' He goes on to confess that the operating system is too complex and burdened by things people don't need. Plus, Vista sometimes seems so slow. Ulanoff gives four suggestions for a complete Vista makeover, like starting with new code and creating a universal interface table. But will Microsoft really listen?"

    new code == forget Vista - new operating system on its way
    Are owners of a flop OS owed anything by the software company that makes it?
    Is anyone that uses OS2 Warp owed anything by IBM because their OS didn't take off?

    Don't like the OS? Buy XP before it goese extinct. I have every trust that MSFT will make it available again after whatever artificial deadline they set when they see that no one is accepting Vista.
