What do you do when people associate the word Vista with buggy software, draconian hardware change policies, software activation nightmares, little value for a lot of cost and buggy virus-prone software?
You fake a new version of an operating system, or in other words, you lie to your customers and tell them it’s called Mojave, when it’s really Windows Vista.
What do people think of Windows Vista when they don’t know it’s Windows Vista? To find out, we disguised it as “the next Microsoft Operating System” code-named “Mojave” so regular people who’ve never used Windows Vista could see what it can do — and decide for themselves. – Mojave Experiment Web Site.
While snowed into my hotel room without my DVD binder, I turned on the TV and was reminded of MS’s duplicity all over again. Only now they think it’s been a long enough time since they conducted the first experiment and we can all look back and laugh about it.
I don’t think so.
Free yourself, your family and your business, download a copy of SLED (SUSE Linux Enterprise Desktop) with it’s oustanding 3D desktop, enterprise-quality office suite and top-drawer productivity applications, and experience $500 worth of Desktop for $50 or less.
