Vista: To Delay or Not To Delay? | |
|
||
| Time: 00:52 EST/05:52 GMT | News Source: Microsoft Watch | Posted By: Robert Stein | ||
|
Should the recent delay in Office 2007 be taken as a sign that Vista needs another pushback, too? Or should Microsoft stick to its January 2007 Vista ship target? When Microsoft revealed on June 29, right before the end of its fiscal year 2006, that it was delaying Office 2007 by some unspecified number of days/weeks/months, Microsoft watchers understandably began wondering whether Windows Vista would suffer the same fate. | ||

| #22: Say there are 1 billion people using PC's around the world. That is roughly 1/6 or the world's population, give or take a bit. It may be closer to 1/7 now. If only 1% of those people use Linux on the desktopp, then that represents 10,000,000 people. So, I guess you are calling 10,000,000 people nobodies. Good for you. I'm sure they appreciate it. And I am fairly sure that both numbers are actually higher, as I likely underestimated the number of PC users worldwide. |

exactly.
That and no more crappy apps messing up the registry, slowing down your system, and leaving crap files in place. |

#26 And most of those 10,000,000 dual boot with Windows. Or run Windows in VMware.
"So, I guess you are calling 10,000,000 people nobodies." Trivial market share. And not growing at all (percentage-wise). 1% and holding. Year after year. |

#24: "Over time it would increase performance as the registry gets bloated, bogged down, and corrupted with tons of crap from crappy installers."
How is this different than a filesystem getting bloated, bogged down, or corrupted? That is the analogy to use if we were to use INIs instead of the registry. It's just a different medium. Re: corruption... Have you seen the NT registry become corrupted? I encountered it a few times way back on 95, but have not encountered on NT. Re: bloat... Registry bloat is just as possible as filesystem bloat; nothing about the registry makes it inherently more bloatable. Re: bogged down, "slowing down your system"... have you actually done measurements of this? Or is this just a wild guess? I challenge you to find a "bogged down" registry, measure its performance, clean it up using some registry cleaner, and then share with us the performance results after the clean. I don't see leftover registry data having any more potential to slow down your system than do leftover files in the filesystem. |
