According to CNet News Microsoft has launched a new version of Windows, Windows Mojave. The response so far has been overwhelmingly positive. Users are amazed at the easy to use features and new interface. Before you ask, no this isn't Windows 7, it's Windows Mojave.
Here's the catch, Windows Mojave is really Vista. What? Exactly. Mojave is a marketing codename for a study on Vista perception, reaction and education.
"'Oh wow,' said one user, eliciting exactly the exclamation that Microsoft had hoped to garner when it first released the operating system more than 18 months ago... the emotional appeal of the "everyman" trying Vista and liking it clearly packs an emotional punch."
So, if you're on the Vista-hater bandwagon give it another shot. I've been using it exclusively for over a year and I can't imagine going back to XP. I don't use a lot of the fancy interface tools but the usability is much improved for me in a corporate environment and that's what matters most to me.

Wow???
Of course they said "Wow." Everybody said "wow" 5 minutes into the first time they saw Vista... but what about when they actually have to USE it. That's when everything changes. What about day 3 of the Vista experience when you are tearing apart the internet trying to figure how to turn the features off because you're sick of them. What about day number 6 when you realize the completely nonsensical changes they made to Windows Explorer have made it such a hassle to use that you find yourself downloading a third party program just to browse for files. Or the day that you wasted 45 minutes trying to figure where they moved the documents folder to for no good reason. Or the day you're in Internet Explorer 7 and even though you've turned the pop-up blocker off... it still blocks popups. Vista is junk, and the "improvements" they made are mythical. There are no improvements. It's still "ddl hell", poor multitasking, crashes and restarts... just plain junk.
you speak rubbish
Vista is a vast improvement on XP, its far more reliable and once you get around the changes and accept that things to change (for the better), you will realise that this is one cool OS. The description you give sounds alot like my iMac, i've been a hardcore MS follower for years, but since the ipod and iphone devices, i've given apple another chance, even buying an iMac, the machine itself is great, the OS however has the problems that you describe as for safari, its just doesnt work with some sites! Vista is far superior and in my opinone the best OS Microsoft has ever released. If i'm willing to give apple a change you should Microsoft.
Vista
Vista is now becoming an excellent operating system . XP is old and boring I do not even use it anymore .
Vista biggest obstacle is these pinheads who are bashing Vista and Microsoft because its the popular thing to do especially for these tech journalists who are making a living bashing Vista and Microsoft .These so called tech journalist don't know Squat about computers its the case of those who can do and those who can't write about it .
Then there is Apple and their lies , if their operating system is so perfect why do they need to put out so many patches .
Half of the people bashing Vista have probably not even tried it yet they are just repeating what someone else told them .
Ah, I think I see the
Ah, I think I see the problem here. In your second line you say 'XP is old and boring.' You don't really want something that works, you just want something that's new. I've tried Vista and didn't like it. Everyone I know who has tried Vista hates it and like me have switched back to old, boring and reliable XP.
Everyone I know who actually
Everyone I know who actually knows how to use a computer and work with computers loves vista. Once you get used to the new interface you will find that it is easier to navigate and has less glitches in the software.
HAHAHAHA, Good one.
HAHAHAHA, Good one.
10 minutes is not enough
Vista bashing is popular, and there is a good reason for that. The longest period of time that I've every used Vista is about 20 days. The longest period of time that I've ever happily used Vista is 2 days. It seems nice at first but a lot of problems arise after just a few days using it. None of my development software worked right on it, even Visual Studio 2005(which I was only using for a class), even when I tried Microsoft's recommended solution. I also had problems with many other development tools, but I choose to specify Visual Studio because it is a Microsoft product. Also it was very slow compared to XP. While Vista may have gotten better, the fact is that 10 minutes just isn't long enough to accurately judge any operating system.
Furthermore,Vista has one overwhelming issue: DRM built in. In short Vista makes sure that you're not viewing or listening to pirated media. Say you lose or scratch a DVD that you legitimately bought, you should have the right to download it so and just use that as your copy. Vista has measures in place to keep you from doing that, while they are far from fool-proof, the mere fact that Microsoft is trying to do this is unacceptable. I don't know about you, but my computer belongs to me, not Microsoft, NBC, Universal, or any other company. I love computing and will fight for my rights to do what I want with any computer that belongs to me.
The way Vista handles DVDs
The way Vista handles DVDs and other media is, of course, no different than how XP handles DVDs and other media. Vista does NOT, repeat NOT bar you from doing anything you're already doing on XP. The only additional DRM is if you play content that would not have played in XP.
Now, you can make an argument that this incents the content providers to make only content that does not play on XP, but that's an indirect effect. See, e.g. http://blogs.zdnet.com/Ou/?p=429 for an explanation of the DRM situation in Vista.
It's quite appropriate that this comment was made on Windows Mojave because it demonstrates just what people will believe.
I have installed vista from
I have installed vista from a backup dvd. I have installed programs from a a backup dvd. I have watched movies I have backed up from a dvd. DRM only works on files that have DRM. AVI, MPG, and MP3 files do not have DRM. DRM files are encrypted. You need a specific key to decrypt them. No OS can play a DRM file with out the key. There are some apps that remove the DRM but then the DRM has been removed.
Step 1: Rip CD with Windows
Step 1: Rip CD with Windows Media.
Step 2: Copy those music files to CD.
Step 3: Throw away your computer to simulate it "breaking" and try to play those music files on computer.
Do this and then tell me Vista has no DRM.
