Microsoft is focusing on Windows 7. And here is why.....

The answer is simple....

Vista was a hacked down version of longhorn that was forced to be finished
in a hurry and was sent out with tens of thousands of bugs, because they
needed the revenue.

Lets face it.. Vista is a total disaster!

Think of vista as the Windows Millennium version of windows, that was an
intermediate edition that MS brought out only to fill the time gap between
windows98 and windows XP.
The quality if windows Me showed clearly how terribly it was planned...

Just like vista!

Now there is a stream of articles all over the internet about the new
version of windows, called for the time being as windows 7. But wait....
Vista is still an infant... why is MS focusing so much on windows 7?

The reason why is that they have realized that vista is unfixable.. they
wont even invest enough time and work force to make a proper service pack,
since MS themselves called SP1 for vista just a culmination of all fixes up
to the date of the release of SP1.

Since vista is horrible, its selling very badly despite the MS hype, and
everyone absolutely hates it, they are basically ditching it, and focusing
on the next thing.

I am VERY GLAD TO SEE THIS. Vista should be abandoned.. its a dead end..

But I am sure that after MS licks its wounds windows 7 will be what vista
should have been.
They are already talking about a lighter smaller kernel for windows 7,
this tells us that they acknowledge that vista is too bloated....

GOODBYE VISTA, WE WONT MISS YOU!

Vista features vast improvements to the desktop including a graphically rich
user interface called Windows AERO, Instant Search capabilities, enhanced
Security, Multimedia, 64-bit computing, improved deployment and tighter
integration with the Web through new features such as Sidebar Gadgets and
Really Simple Syndication (RSS). Included in Vista are new under the hood
features such as Windows Presentation and Communication Foundations and a
new version of the .NET Framework for creating powerful, connected and more
secure applications.

Andre, I appreciate the effort you put with your posts in helping people but
dont eat the MS propaganda so easily. THINK FOR YOURSELF!

the only thing Vista has that people will notice is the 3d desktop called
aero...

and most people say its not worth it... You can get a glass like interface
if you use a $19 windowblinds on XP.

Everything else can be done with XP by downloading free applications.
It can be done faster, with less problems.

Multimedia? XP Media Center can do the same thing as Home Premium and
Ultimate if thats what you mean... and wmp11 is crap anyway...
gomplayer performes far better at playing movies.

You can have a great sidebar with gadgets with google desktop (that gives
you a sidebar similar to vista)
anyway the side bar is darn right stupid!

Developers need to have vista also since they have to make sure their apps
work with all editions of windows... but I am talking about the average Joe
here.

Well, as an average Joe...I like Vista.
You spend so much time spouting off, I doubt you know what OS your even
using.

Andre's not "just" spouting the MS line... he's speaking from his own
experience with Vista. Vista "works" for Andre. Works for me too. Perhaps I
should post some links, since that seems to be something to which you
relate.

"And here is why....."
Do you EVER read what you write?
Sometimes it seems not.

"The reason why is that they have realized that vista is unfixable"
Please post the source.
Or is this simply more FICTION you post.
Without the fiction in your posts, there would usually be nothing.

Of course there is Focus on Windows 7.
Just like there was focus on Windows Vista after the release of
Windows XP.
Just like there was focus on Windows XP after the release after the
release of Windows ME an 2000.
The next product always has focus.
The same applies to most manufacturers of products, not just
technology.
A company not looking to the next product/service is in the last days
of their last product.

"MS themselves called SP1 for vista just a culmination of all fixes up
to the date of the release of SP1."
And that is primarily what a Service Pack for Windows should be.
But don't let the facts get in the way of your Vista hate agenda.

"GOODBYE VISTA, WE WONT MISS YOU!"
Typical of you, more assumptions.
And as usual they are WRONG.
Obviously to most but obviously not you, Windows Vista is not leaving.
If there is a parting it is you.
As for the "WE", you are not speaking for myself or many others.
You should stop trying to speak for others when clearly you do not.
Obviously since Windows Vista is staying, your comment is also FALSE
since there is nothing leaving to miss.

But, you continue to go ahead and try to make something out of
nothing.
As you see, many see the nothing you post for what it is...nothing.

Windows Vista works well on two older computers of mine as well many
others report success with Windows Vista.
That is a FACT you can NOT dispute.

That could be true. But it's the stuff you DON'T notice that makes the
difference. I refer to the security and integrity features. You, me, all of
us are plagued by spam and trojaned computers. Incalculable losses occur due
to invasion by malware.

Vista is a big step in securing the internet for all of us. To the degree
that some neophyte in Left Elbow Oklahoma has his computer made more secure
by implementing Vista, we all benefit.

Oh, sure, similar protections could be had by downloading third-party
anti-virus, anti-adware, anti-this-and-that, but the fact remains that the
only thing common to millions of computers is the operating system.

Vista is not that much more secure.. if it is security you want switch to
linux.
Dont tell me about windows defender... first of all its crap, it cant catch
sh!t,
then it exists as a free download for XP also.

Dont tell me about UAC, since UAC is either turned off OR its ignored by
blind-ok-pressing..

after pressing OK for a million times, you do it automatically without
thinking...
Oh MS has absolutly no knowlage of how the human mind works.

The "under the hood" stuff you may be saying is of little interest to the
average Joe...
and the geeks dont really need vista to be secure.

Basically as many have told me and I quote: "The stupid thing with Vista is
that it gives you no GOOD reason to upgrade"

YES, but it gives you many many many reasons NOT to upgrade.

Microsoft is focusing on Windows 7. And here is why.....

The answer is simple....

Vista was a hacked down version of longhorn

It might be more accurate to say it's the hacked *up*
version of XP. They spent a couple of years, allegedly,
trying to build the whole thing on .Net, like a Java-based
OS. Fortunately, that effort was a failure and they went
back to the basic NT code. (In a quote at the time, an
MS spokesman said that the hardware to handle the extreme
demands (read "bloat") of a .Net OS wouldn't be available
for another 5 years! And you thought that needing a GB
of RAM was bad just to have a kiddie-GUI designed to wow
13-year-old boys.

So Vista seems to be more like WinME II NT. I got a kick
out of how MS is already calling Vista bloated, saying that
they need to trim down the kernel in the next Windows.
Meanwhile a Vista upgrade is on sale a Office Max this
week for $49.

Not everyone hates it, you just think/wish everybody did.
Every new PC on sale here in the UK has Vista pre-installed, so unless
people have stopped buying PCs altogether Vista must be selling
