Giving Windows Vista another chance | |
|

Thanks to my post yesterday on the reliability of Windows Vista, I awoke this morning to find my inbox awash with comments from readers (those of you who commented in the TalkBack will have to wait for my attention). Filtering out all the “switch to Mac,” and “switch to Linux” emails, and the inevitable batch of emails from people whose CAP LOCK keys are permanently stuck down with Laffy Taffy, it seems that opinion on Windows Vista is starkly divided. While some are overjoyed by the OS, others consider it to be the work of Satan. More than a year and a half on from the release of Vista, and Microsoft is far from having many a huge number existing Windows users that Vista is a worthwhile upgrade. It seems that Microsoft has a lot of work to do to convince the entrenched XP factions (some of which seem happy to carry on using XP until 2014) to move under the Vista flag (I think it’s a lost cause, I think it’s up to Windows 7 to convince the hardcore Vista haters to budge). | ||

| As I have said before, Windows 7 should be christened with a new name, and distance itself as much as possible from Vista. Right or wrong, Vista has a lot of baggage. MS should lose this luggage as soon as possible. |

| #1: According to an MS rep, Windows 7 as recently as early 2007 was known as Vista R2 internally. That pretty much sums up what 7 will be, a fine tuned Vista. There will be fewer annoyances, and better backward compatibility, as MS seems to be recognizing that customers want simple to use OS's that just work. |

| I'm just saying the "Vista" name should be tossed. Call it Windows "Landscape" or "Cosmos" or even Windows XQ - anything but Vista! |
