Should Microsoft Dump Its Blunder Vista?
Quote:While Vista was originally touted by Microsoft as the operating system savior we've all been waiting for, it has turned out to be one of the biggest blunders in technology. With a host of issues that are inexcusable and features that are taken from the Mac OS X and Linux playbook, Microsoft has once again lost sight of what we really want...

The first indication that Microsoft should abandon Vista is its poor sales figures. According to a recent report titled "Windows Vista Still Underperforming in U.S. Retail" from NPD, Vista sales are significantly behind XP sales during its early days. Even worse for Redmond, some are reverting to XP, citing issues with compatibility and overall design. And if that wasn't enough, Macs continue to surge and with the impending release of Leopard, Microsoft may be in for a rough holiday season.

With each passing day, it's becoming blatantly clear that Microsoft released Vista too early and the company's continual mistakes and promises that can't be kept are further annoying the Windows faithful...

Trivia: the number of TT visitors who use Linux is slightly more than the number of Vista users. :imptongue:

EDIT to add another Microsoft slam: the number of TT visitors using Firefox is approaching 33% :imptongue:

I'm using Epiphany (but I use Firefox sometimes too).

Quote:Should Microsoft Dump Its Blunder Vista?

I think it should dump both Vista and XP. Smile  I rarely use XP Pro because it's slower than Linux, requires more memory, is less stable, is less secure, and I can use Wine to run most of my Windows programs under Linux (just like I used to use OS/2 to run Windows 3.1 programs).
