15.9.2008 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.

20.5.2006Windows "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
Mojave to the consumers, they were then told that it was actually Windows Vista. The site below shows clips that were taken during the experiment.

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.

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

01.08.2008Microsoft 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.

24.07.2008Mojave 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.

Still a few hours away for CES, it is known that Microsoft is going unveil the Windows 7 Beta at CES. But it is still unsure when would users be able
to download it officially. Mary-Jo Foley reports that public betas of Windows 7 would hit this week along with the private beta. Now, there is some
information available from this Microsoft blog: Attend an upcoming MSDN Developer Conference and you will receive a Windows 7 Beta 1 DVD - and that
immediate upcoming MSDN Developer Conference is on January 13th, which is next Tuesday! At the worst, expect a public beta release next week as the
private beta testers would get priority even if its released earlier.

would be released today and this could confirm the sites claims. The download link is currently inaccessible. It's entirely possible that once
the page is live it will simply be a sign up page to register your interest. Microsoft will not comment on the exact date and a Microsoft official
confirmed the beta is still targetted for early 2009.
