For those of you that haven’t yet heard of the Mojave Experiment - it’s a pretty cool little marketing trick that Microsoft put in action a few weeks back. What Microsoft did was get a bunch of users from all different platforms, and gave them a demo of their new operating system “Mojave”. The trick was that they were actually just demonstrating Windows Vista.
There was very positive feedback from the experiment with over 90% of the users finding it very impressive. Even though these users had heard bad things about Vista, they were impressed when they finally saw it in action.
While I also believe Windows Vista is a decent operating system, the only drawback I am still having issues with is the speed. After rolling out three new PCs last week, all with state of the art hardware, all users came back with complaints on the performance. I guess we will have to wait and see what lies ahead, but I personally am getting tired of doing Vista to XP rollbacks.

What a great Blog, I was reading through your posts and realized what a great resource you have here. My name is Rick and I Work with the Windows Vista Outreach Team and we are continuely putting out information to the community on how to get the most out of Vista and improve your experience. I have another new resource for you to add to your page. This is a link to a Performance and Tuning Guide that Microsoft just put out. It’s a pretty good document if your new to Vista and want to tweak it and get more out of it.

It is pretty amazing what the power management features in Vista can do, and the various guides there talk about some pretty amazing advances.
