  Microsoft execs saw problems with early Vista
Time: 00:12 EST/05:12 GMT | News Source: WinBeta | Posted By: Kenneth van Surksum

Even some of Microsoft Corp.'s top officials struggled to make Windows Vista work smoothly when it was released, according to internal e-mails released Wednesday.

The messages, unsealed in a lawsuit against the company, show that Vista's early problems with hardware and software compatibility affected more than just average PC users. The e-mails also illustrate how the company will try to avoid such issues in the next Windows release.

"We need to be clearer with industry, and we need to decide what we will do and do that well and 100 percent and not just do a little of everything," wrote Steven Sinofsky, the Microsoft executive who took over Windows engineering after Vista's retail release in January 2007.

I sometimes wonder why we even bother responding to latch. I mean it is great to have a meaningful discussion but as I pointed out if you bring up any interesting or valid points he just pulls the shill/fanboy card. I don't know much about the others but I do know that I make my living in the IT business. I like to eat so that means I am honest with myself about the technology I use. I realize that there is good and bad in everything including Vista. Just having a positive opinion about and MS product doesn't mean that i am a fanboy. If anything I can be far more critical about MS and their missteps then the average person.

What I don't get how Latch doesn't realize that it is insulting to make a summary judgment about something with little to no hands on experience. Someone like Lketchum is in a way better position to bring forth a valid opinion then someone who has just read other people's opinions and then regurgitates them. I guess this is the nature of the internet age though. I come from a time where I feel like I need to actually use a product before i feel I can discuss it's merits.

#50 Great points. I too wish Minimum requirements were higher for almost everything I see. And hell ya to a Family Pack. Purchase a Windows Home Server + 4 Vista Ultimate or something I'd be pumped.

#51 TBH I'm glad he makes the points here. SlashDot is overloaded with people who think like them and getting an opposing opinion on there is tough. Those who want to hear a actual response to most of their Hippy-ish commentary can come here. I'm glad to cook up a couple counter arguments to his thinking. If anything it may not alter his opinion but it will help others on the fence understand the other, usually less silent, point of view.

Oh and I saw a reference to post count. I've been on these forums since like '99 or so. I just didn't log in for so long that I think my account got deleted :) Latch is playing the role of his predecessors quite well.
