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."
I suck. /. jape. Now that I know WTF, I may indeed use this one more. Mwahahahahaha.
Thanks for the correction.

That's the way unix is supposed to work. Many isolated processes communicating over pipes. That's why it's so stable compared to windows.
An adapatation of something I read on /. long, long ago:
Say that Mac (UNIX) and PC from the commercials went off and started their own family. (Say PC got lucky with one of those cheerleaders in the background.)
If PC were to teach his child how to drive, he would have the child launch multiple threaders and store the HANDLEs, assigning hRightFoot to the gas, hRightHand && hLeftHand to the stearing wheel, and hEyes to the road, with hBrain launching the message queue. One child doing all the driving with threads!
Mac would have septuplets. He'd fork one child process for controlling the gas, one child for controlling the stearing, one child for controlling the iRadio, and have them all communicate with pipes!
That way, if one of them crashes, they can just be restarted! Wait...
