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."

    I'm aware that this is a nigh-useless comment, but I had to express my joy (and to a lesser extent, concern) that this was modded "Redundant", and not "Troll" or "Flamebait".
