New post from Chris Pirillo about Vista, same things that I have said.. Ok
great minds think alike..
but you dont really need a great mind to see MS flopped with Vista and that
they have ignored the
consumers opinion.

from that post

"I'm not asking much of Microsoft. I want them to listen to their Community.
They need to value implementation over features, instead of the other way
around. Listen to your users. Listen to the Community. Don't show us
something and say "Wow! Look what we did!". Try asking us before you do it.
Open your ears and minds, and find out what your Community really wants and
needs. I'm not talking about the Corporate world. I'm talking about your
average Home users. These people will help you build a better product if you
let them. I truly hope you let them.
Listening to your Community is the only thing that will save you and your
future at this point. Take heed. "

CP is an ignorant, technically incompetent fool. Anyone who has seen
this clown in action knows that to be true. Please think of yourself as
much more capable than this idiot is or will ever be. He is an example
of the bad part of the Internet...that is any fool can express his
opinion and get a following.

I have known Chris since 98 via the interest, and have watched his every
move closely

He is not a loser, he is a winner. Sure he is not the most hard core tech in
the world,
but he has other talents that he takes advantage of. He is good in
explaining tech stuff in a simple
manner so the average user can understand and take advantage of the
knowledge he shares.

That is a very positive trait.

The lockergnome newsletter wrote history... it was tremendously successful
and I would not
be surprised that he was one of the people who influenced the creation of
lots of similar
newsletters sites and blogs.

Its easy for you to come along and disregard a persons work, but the facts
is that many people benefit from his sites and information he provides over
the years.

That's what everyone else is doing now...

"...the U.S. delegation seems to have listened to companies like Google,
which said Microsoft was making a mockery of the process; to Sun, which
says Microsoft has broken the ISO process; and to the Linux Foundation,
which called the company’s arguments “ridiculous.”

Of course Microsoft’s competitors would howl, you might say. But we’re
not playing red state-blue state here. This is a consensus process. The
idea is we all agree, not that you out-vote me.

Which seems to have been Microsoft’s problem from the get-go. Laws may
be changed by majorities, but standards are things we’re all supposed to
agree on. That’s why proprietary, royalty-bearing standards are so
controversial in the first place.

The problem is not with the Microsoft technology. The problem is with
the Microsoft attitude, which seems eerily similar to what we’ve seen in
U.S. politics for a long time now. Despite all Microsoft’s claims to
have changed, the company remains a prisoner of its time.

And the times they are a-changin’. Even if Microsoft succeeds here, its
tide is going out."

Much of what we
see today in Vista is a direct result of the feedback received from both
corporate and home users alike.


So users wanted a start menu that collapses upon itself, or an UAC thats in
their face 1000 times a day
or a defrag with no visual feedback or.. wait! The crap is so much.. I will
need days to list the stupid things that vista has.

NO these are only the STUPID BAD SOLUTIONS MS gave to the feedback and then
went ahead and implemenetd the solutions they thought were good *but were
stupid*.. they never asked
the very thing Chris is saying: Like here is what we are thinking of doing,
do you agree with it? LOL


Everything about vista shows its the most user unfriendly OS since win. 3.1
how can some people
actually like it, amazes me!

This is NO "Community". This is a *seller* and *buyer* relationship. In
plain 101 Economics, the former is there to make money off the latter. If
you're looking for a "community", you'll need to look at Open Source, where
the supplier of software, provides the software for free to other users of
the "community". Big difference!

Cheers.

I know why MS changed the start menu... so what was their solution to
confusion? HIDE IT and make it searchable because navigating in that small
area inside the start menu is worse than looking for a needle in a hey
stack.

Can you say BAD SOLUTION TO A PROBLEM? I Can!

So now what do we have, a usless list of programs, and the need to TYPE (for
crying out load) the program you want to launch. I dont think you realise
how bad this is.

See my nice start menu in XP,
http://img240.imageshack.us/img240/840/startmenuxpen9.jpg
see how nice and organised it is?... is this hard to navigate? NOPE, its
clean and fast... I did this manually of course but see here a util that
does this for the novice

http://www.tidystartmenu.com/index.shtml

All microsoft needed was to BUY this guys idea off of him (not steal it) and
impliment it in to a wizard, or better yet make it into an automated
task.... Like linux knows where each program goes, an online database could
be constructed that would categorize all the already existing programs
according to its nature into subgroups.
All the developer or even a (microsoft employee or memeber of a microsoft
community can do this) had to do then was to log into an account and chose
the category it wants vista to put it in, the start menu then vista would
read the database and put the program in order, this for the old apps. For
the new apps the developers would chose before hand one of the default
subcagegories. SIMPLE AND ELEGANT.

MUST I ANALYZE FURTHER? Yes... the human mind works best when it can visualy
reproduce pathways that are logically structured. When you have a diagonal
(staircased) pathway the brian memorizes this and can reproduce the motion
to launch the program faster the next time. But when you have a menu that
collapses upon itself, there is no pathway... only up and down motion that
cannot be remembered by the brain and learned to reproduce automatically,
the result is the need to READ the menu, this of course slows down the use
of it.

Must I corner you in all the things we are talking about? Because I know im
right and I can prove them...

I don't really care if anyone wants to read my opinion, but I had to put it
out there and give a partial reply at least just in case someone is
wondering WHY I think the vista start menu could be made far better than its
current implementation.

They did. Focus groups, polls, over-the-shoulder observations, labs,
psychologists, time-and-motion industrial engineers, software providers,
literally tens of thousands of emails and suggestions.

Micros~1 did, however, reject suggestions from alien abductees concerned
with anal probing.

Ah ha! Another Linux troll exposes himself ("... that looks like a penis,

Your logic is messed up. You do really care if people read your opinion.
IF you didn't you wouldn't post. The reason you care is because you want to
get people made because you think Vista is a pile. All you want to do is
annoy.

Of course there could always be improvemnts with the product, but your goal
is to annoy and pester. That is it.

 

[HeyBub]

ok listen to the consumers.. call them whatever you like...

Microsoft couldn't please everyone, so they decided to please themselves.
Evidently, consumers liked what was produced because these consumers voted
with their hard-earned dollars (or sheckels or drachma or whatever).

If you don't like the way Micros~1 does things, then don't buy the product!

Jeeze! Why should anyone have to point out the obvious?
