29.7.2008 What if Apple had conducted the Mojave Experiment?
In watching the many negative blog posts and comments about Microsoft’s “Mojave Experiment” — designed to try to distinguish perception from reality around Vista — I can’t help but wonder how different the take would be if it were Apple doing the same kind of marketing campaign.

25.7.2008 Windows Codenamed Mojave Closer to Vista SP1 than Even Windows 7
Windows codenamed Mojave is just around the corner and closer to Windows Vista Service Pack 1 than even Windows 7. The Reason for this is that Windows 7 is merely an evolution of the latest Windows client, while Windows codenamed Mojave is actually 100% Vista.

18.11.2009Windows "Mojave" Experiment Hits The Web
Well, we've all heard about the Mojave experiment, Microsoft's scheme to show people who stuck with XP how great Vista really is. After demoing

29.07.2008Is Microsoft's Mojave Vista experiment backfiring with users?

01.08.2008Mojave Experiment Updated
Microsoft's Mojave Experiment involved showing Vista to skeptical users whilst tricking them into thinking it was a new version of Windows and

which is now showing the demos subjects were shown. The site features Silverlight heavily and presents videos in a zoomable "cloud".

Chris Flores: Last week we showed a video of the Mojave Experiment to a small group of folks here on campus. Today we are excited to share the
results with the public.
For those new to the Mojave Experiment,
it's a focus group effort we initiated a few weeks ago. We interviewed and polled 120 participants in San Francisco, in hopes of better understanding
everyday users' perceptions of Windows Vista and seeing whether there really is a gap between perception and reality. We wanted to see how people
reacted to Windows Vista when they were not aware they were seeing Windows Vista. We recorded our discussions, and today you can see them for
yourself.

29.07.2008Mojave experiment gets a Web site
Evidently spurred on by the reception it got at Thursday's financial analysts meeting, Microsoft has decided to move ahead with plans to turn the
Mojave project into a full-fledged Windows Vista marketing effort.
As
first reported by CNET News, Microsoft last week
interviewed XP users who were skeptical of Vista and showed them what it called a secret new version of Windows, "Mojave." It was in fact Vista.
The results, according to Microsoft executives, were almost universally positive, with participants expressing surprise when told it was actually
Vista they had been using.
For now, Microsoft has put up a
teaser site, with
plans to show the actual video footage next week.

26.07.2008Microsoft looks to 'Mojave' to revive Vista's image
After months of searching for ways to defend its oft-maligned Windows operating system, Microsoft may just have found its best weapon: Vista's
skeptics.
Spurred by an e-mail from someone deep in the marketing ranks, Microsoft last week traveled to San Francisco, rounding
up Windows XP users who had negative impressions of Vista. The subjects were put on video, asked about their Vista impressions, and then shown a
"new" operating system, code-named Mojave. More than 90 percent gave positive feedback on what they saw. Then they were told that "Mojave" was
actually Windows Vista.
