12.8.2008 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.

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

27.08.2008Mojave 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.

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.

Vista haters can love the operating system if they think it's a new, unreleased Windows version. Now comes the "Forrester Experiment," where the
Windows Vista Team blog faults Forrester Research analyst Thomas Mendel's nasty report on Vista.
"Forrester Gets
Schizophrenic on Windows Vista" wrote Microsoft's Chris Flores on Friday, referring to Forrester report "Enterprise Trends: Vista Is Rejected; Mozilla and Apple Make Small Gains."

Shift to x64 Vista, but where are the drivers?
A big "shift" is now on to 64-bit Windows Vista PCs, even among consumers, according to Microsoft product manager Chris Flores. But he acknowledges
that, even now, few if any 64-drivers are available for some categories of consumer products, including DVD/RW devices.
"The installed
base of 64-bit Windows Vista PCs, as a percentage of all Windows Vista systems, has more than tripled in the US in the last three months, while
worldwide adoption has more than doubled during the same period," Flores contended, late on Wednesday.
Microsoft's newly minted claims
of tripled 64-bit adoption over the past three months are based on download figures from Windows Update. "Another view shows that 20% of new Windows
Vista PCs in the U.S. connecting to Windows Update were 64-bit PCs, up from just 3% in March."

Update: "Vista Capable" trial
The ongoing "Vista Capable" class-action lawsuit against Microsoft took an interesting turn the other day when an expert witness for the plaintiffs
claimed that the Redmond company made more than $1.5 billion through their "Vista Capable" marketing campaign. The origins of the trial itself
are to be found in the months prior to Vista's release when many computers were sold with Windows XP and the promise that they would be capable of
running Vista. However, many of these PCs, which sold at a premium and bore the "Vista Capable" label, turned out to be only capable of running
Vista Basic. Hence, Microsoft is being sued for what many would call false advertising.

Neowin at Digital Life 2007: Microsoft's Booth
Microsoft took a three pronged approach to their booth this year. They decided to focus on Vista (again), Games for Windows, and Windows Mobile.
Surprisingly, the Xbox 360 and Halo 3 were not highlighted in the least bit.
It actually surprised me to see Microsoft pushing Vista so
hard, still. Compared to last year, before Vista was released, this year's Vista display was even larger and more in your face. There were more
kiosks, sofas, and lots of Vista logos on anything that could bare one. We know about Vista, though, so let's move on.
