Will someone please tell me WHY there is this great big push to shelve technology– especially operating systems? And especially Microsoft operating systems?
OK, let me back off a little. There’s talk that MS will let Vista just fade away. It’s outdated, too buggy, and too bulky.
The Microsoft executive in charge of Windows urged some companies this week to dump Vista deployment plans and shift to Windows 7, the operating system the company has promised to ship in the fourth quarter.
“If you’re just starting your testing of Vista, with the [Windows 7] Release Candidate and the quality of that offering, I would switch over and do your testing on the [Windows 7] Release Candidate, and use that going forward,” Bill Veghte, Microsoft’s senior vice president for Windows business, said in a keynote speech earlier this week.
EXCUSE ME?! HELLO?! Just a year or two ago, Vista was hailed as THE FUTURE in operating systems! Now all of a sudden it’s junk? I think there’s more to all this than just the “this stinks” mantra that we hear every time MS releases a new operating system. It was only just a FEW short years ago when MS came out with XP. Do you remember allll the bellyaching that arose when XP came out?! I do! Everyone and their mother hated XP, they wanted Windows 98 back! But lo and behold, now XP is near perfection, especially compared with [evil organ music] VISTA. Vista must go, Vista must die! And what is there to take it’s place? Why, ANOTHER brand new, very expensive operating system!!
Something’s fishy.
So I predict that in 3-4 years from the release of Windows 7 (the sparkly new operating system coming out in October 2009), everyone will softly reminisce about the “good ol’ days” back when there was Vista.
Gimme a break. :cwazy:
