Vista Blog Backfires!
Last week, I
told
you about the Mojave experiment, in which end users tried out an unknown
operating system and loved it, and the OS turned out to be a disguised version
of Vista.
Microsoft has been fighting back against critics in other ways. For instance,
after Forrester Research declared that far less than 10 percent of enterprise
users were in Vista, a Microsoft exec blogged that Forrester
was "schizophrenic" because some analysts were big fans of the
OS.
The problem? The blog by Chris Flores included a comments section. Actual end
users ripped Microsoft a new one, not just by complaining, but by going into
great detail about Vista problems, lost files, crashes, multiple rebuilds and
things just not working. Oops!
