Exclusive Interview: Microsoft Admits What Went Wrong with Vista, and How They Fixed It

it's a first step from MS to admit that vista was crap before SP1. Good! Now
all they have to do is confess that vista is really unfixable 100%.
But they wont do that unless windows7 is out first.

We sat down with Microsoft to hear the company's side of the Vista story.
What lessons have been learned following the worst


Windows launch in the company's history? Is Microsoft doing enough to regain
PC users' faith?

Way back in January 2007, after years of hype and anticipation, Microsoft
unveiled Windows Vista to a decidedly lukewarm reception by the PC
community, IT pros, and tech journalists alike. Instead of a revolutionary
next-generation OS that was chock-full of new features, the Windows
community got an underwhelming rehash with very little going for it. Oh, and
Vista was plagued with performance and incompatibility problems to boot.

Since then, the PC community has taken the idea that Vista is underwhelming
and turned it into a mantra. We've all heard about Vista's poor network
transfer speeds, low frame rates in games, and driver issues-shoot, we've
experienced the problems ourselves. But over the last 18 months, Vista has
undergone myriad changes, including the release of Service Pack 1, making
the OS worth a second look. It's time we determine once and for all whether
we should stick with XP for the next 18 months while we wait for Windows 7.
But before we answer that question, let's review exactly what's wrong with
Windows Vista.

What Went Wrong with Vista's Launch?
We've seen worse launches over the years, but not from a multibillion dollar
product that was a half-decade in the making. Here are the seven biggest
contributors to Vista's dud of a debut

We will save the users a bunch of time here, the bottom line of the
interview was

"but from a performance, stability, and security standpoint, we’re
satisfied with where Vista is today."

if they are satisfied where vista is today, that means they have lowed the
quality level to rock bottom....

But of course what else can they say but lies? Windows7 that will be the
corrected version of vista needs a year more to come out.

They have to use lies and propaganda... or else they will lose more money

Apparently you don't have a very high level of reading comprehension,
THAT WAS THE "Maximum PC's Final Word on Vista" part of the article.

That puts you squarely in the ignorant troll bin. You should be feeling
pretty stupid about now. I suspect we should not see any further
postings from you on this subject, unless of course you are even dumber
than you currently appear.

STFU, ok?
We know your incompetent opinion on Vista. No need to keep making a fool
out of yourself in here.

So get lost...once again...and don't bother coming back this time.

Don't forget euphemisms. LOTS of euphemisms.

The entirety of what they said in conclusion is this:
______________________________________________________________________

"Maximum PC's Final Word on Vista

After spending the last six weeks getting down and dirty with the OS—on
multiple hardware configurations, in both 64-bit and 32-bit flavors, and
on mobile and desktop systems—we’re willing to give it a second chance.
There are still tons of things about the OS we’re not happy
with—starting with the now-$350 Ultimate SKU and working down from
there—but from a performance, stability, and security standpoint, we’re
satisfied with where Vista is today. You no longer need to sacrifice
performance or stability if you want to run the latest version of Windows.

If you already have Vista, there’s no reason not to use it, but should
you go out and buy Vista today? Probably not. With Windows 7’s launch
scheduled for early 2010, we’re actually closer to that date than we are
to Vista’s launch. If you’ve ridden out the storm on XP so far, it
probably isn’t worth investing in Vista for just a year and a half of use."

Unfortunately, just as Obama's 'lipstick on a pig' comment, many people
often take partial sentences and half paragraph's and use them to try to
make their point.

(And NO!, I am not an Obama supporter, nor John McCain for that matter, I
was just using that as an example.)

Yep, and some folks think if they shout loud enough, it makes them
right. ;-)

It wasn't shouting, it was emphasizing. THIS IS SHOUTING!!!!!! That's
another problem with online communications......you can't hear tone,
volume, or vocal inflections.

It all depends on how you use your computer, and/or what you need your
computer for.
