Microsoft's "Mojave Experiment" Teaser Site Goes Live

Posted by timothy on from the resculpting-expectations dept.

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."

    Repeat the experiment with a "Vista Capable" set of hardware, the stuff MS is getting sued over.

      Vista is like Chili and Whiskey. It might seem good when it's on the tongue, but your ass will be sore in the morning.
