    MS “Mojave” Experiment

    By Polyhedras | July 30, 2008

    In a “blind taste test,” Microsoft got regular people to try Vista without knowing it was Vista.

    As a platform-agnostic fellow, I’m like, “Whatever.”

    The problem isn’t the OS, which my experience and research shows to be a step up in security and stability from XP, which was itself a step up from Win98. Rather, the problem is that every time MS upgrades its OS, one of the main reasons for staying with Windows—the wealth of software available for it—gets strained. Oh, that and the fact that my old hardware won’t run it.

    As for this blind test, calling it Mojave is like sending you on a date with the same girl in a new dress and telling you it’s not your sister. 8^D
