 If Microsoft didn't have any more ways to sneak through everything, they did it this time. Microsoft has today revealed the “Mojave Experiment”. This is an experiment where Microsoft took 140 users who haven't used Vista themselves and instead showed them what they believed to be a new Microsoft operating system, which of course was code-named Mojave. After tricking the participants to use "Mojave" and then delivered their opinion of the “new” OS, they were then told that Mojave was in fact Windows Vista.
The good thing that Microsoft probably got out of the whole experiment was that almost all (ALMOST) the feedback received from the 140 Participants was indeed positive. The comments that they said was some like "Wow!", or "This is a fast OS!", and other positive things about Vista. Note that the Vista system was not run on a slow system with most likely a minimum of programs installed and had was a:
HP Pavilion DV2500 loaded with a Intel Core 2 Duo CPU T7500 @ 2.20GHz, 2GB of RAM and 32 bit version of Windows Vista Ultimate.
With many new OS's coming out, there is usually no one there to help guide you with these new OS's, with new ones coming out more complicated and with new features, many novice users get frustrated. Surprisingly enough, many of the participants have maintained their score (which was a positive score) from the "Mojave" system (being Windows Vista in fact).
The sad thing is that many of us have already experienced the bad side of Vista, or at least had a first bad experience and then spread it out. While many news spread about Vista being crappy (which is very true) and "over secure" is true too. There is a line where "secure" is stands, and "over secure" stands as well. The thing is, why didn't Microsoft try to use this technique on users who have already experienced Windows Vista and try to test on them instead? If you have someone to tell you how to use something, let you know how to use the whole system basically, of course you will like it because you are getting help from a professional. If the participants were alone and had no help, the ratings would have came out the same as we gave.
Microsoft has it sneaky ways of doing things, but i'm pretty sure that those users have yet to see the real side of Windows Vista, and most likely will change their opinion on Windows Vista. What does this have to say about the soon to come Windows 7?
