The task of upversioning the world to significantly changed Windows technology is beyond monumental. Kind of like trying to fight a war when 80% of the civilized world refuse to leave their happy dream.
I don't think Microsoft has lost it. There will be more blood, more hemorraging, Vista will be excoriated, but in three years it will sweep the world.

An MS 'product' full of ***bugs***?
Nah; please say it ain't so!
I could tell you stories, FRiend...
To: Swordmaker
It's BETA for cryin' out loud. Naturally beta versions are going to have bugs.

My reaction is MS vista is dead because apple is now compatible with Intel and Windows xp apps.
bye bye MS.

I don't know...I am a Mac user, and I kind of like the fact that Apple strives hard to try to stay ahead of Microsoft. It keeps them hungry.
Sure, I would like Apple to have a large market share, but that is not their business model to be the 800 lb gorilla.
I kind of think of it along the same lines as Democrats and Republicans. As much as I dislike liberalism, I think it is bad for the country that the libs are going so far and fast towards the edge of irrelevancy.

It's BETA for cryin' out loud. Naturally beta versions are going to have bugs. Bugs....absolutely. Stability is the issue here. Betas are for working out quirky problems that cannot be duplicated in a lab. When your vendors and test audience don't have a stable beta model to work with, it pretty much renders the entire process moot. This is a big problem if MS tries to go to market with an unstable Vista. It would be Windows ME to the tenth power.
To: Space Wrangler
Yes, I understand the difference between beta and final versions. Beta is where the bugs are supposed to be worked out, not final versions.

Even betas need to be stable. That is the problem here. You can't work bugs out if you can't get the OS to run right and manage the system resources.

Testers and pundits alike say Vista Beta 2, released publicly in June maybe they should actually try the newest build and stop posting old news?

To: Echo Talon
Just curious.
Where was this software designed and coded?
Redmond, or offshore?
Remember, there are no right answers.
