Microsoft's "Mojave Experiment" Teaser Site Goes Live
MojoKid writes "Earlier this week, Microsoft was reported to be arranging a kind of 'blind taste test' to get die-hard Windows XP users to try Vista. They were told that they were trying a new OS, called Mojave. The report went on to suggest that users liked the OS, though they were actually running Vista. Now it appears Microsoft has put up a
teaser site, with
plans to show the actual video footage next week. Though the footage should at least have some entertainment
value, it would be a bit of a reach to expect that the test methodologies were
real-world enough such that users had to deal with things like user account
control, driver updates, and broad application compatibility."
Researchers have conducting 'taste tests' have found that recipients of grits in their pants preferred having cold grits poured down their pants rather than hot grits.
Repeat the experiment with a "Vista Capable" set of hardware, the stuff MS is getting sued over.
So... it just finished booting up?
Build a tool even an idiot can use and only an idiot will want to use it. -S.O.B.
Great PR job. I KNEW the Iraqi Minister of Information would land on his feet somewhere.
Keep the Classic Slashdot.
So, microsoft disguised vista as a good operating system... why don't they do that for EVERYONE?
