One year ago today, Microsoft released Windows Vista to manufacturing. In
the obligatory anniversary post we ask: Was it ready? Will it ever be ready?
The answer to the first question is an emphatic "no." Vista wasn't ready.
Hardware manufacturers and software developers weren't ready for it. The
channel and enterprises weren't ready, and consumers couldn't get it because
Vista missed holiday 2006.
Microsoft promised WOW, but the reaction was, "What?" What is different from
Windows XP? What is wrong with the hardware requirements? What is the
difference between "Capable" and "Ready?" What is this Software Assurance
requirement for Vista Enterprise? What happened to the familiarity of
Windows XP? What is wrong with my Vista applications and hardware?
More recently the "W" question is "When?"--as in when will Microsoft release
Vista Service Pack 1?
