The Mojave Experiment - the good and bad

So by now you've heard of the Mojave Experiment from Microsoft. Joe Wilcox, thought it was good at first and then offers a second take. I'm not sure I agree with all of Joe's analysis. This is good news for Microsoft in many ways as it underscores that Vista often suffers from a bum rap in terms of perception. Score one for MSFT. On the other hand, nothing here changes the overall perception and that's what MSFT needs to do. Moreover, the fact that all these folks could see Vista and NOT RECOGNIZE it at this point in the lifecycle tells you something as well at how Microsoft has failed to generate proper mindshare. Finally, some of Vista's issues are based in reality and these are all things Microsoft needs to address and address soon. Well before Windows 7.
