Star Microsoft: 'Five Misunderstood Features in Windows Vista'
Linked by Thom Holwerda on Wed 21st May 2008 00:21 UTC
Windows Vista has not exactly been a massive market success. Sales numbers might be satisfactory due to OEM agreements, but press and public reception have been terrible, and there are several recurring themes in the complaints from people. Microsoft took five of these recurring themes, and addressed them in a document called 'Five Misunderstood Features in Windows Vista'.

from the Microsoft point of view, "killer" features like desktop search or security make vista so slow. Then, who can explain to me how OSX or linux live with the same features, and are still responsive on less powerful machines?


The answer is simple: someone cares about Linux and Mac OS X and BSD and no one at Microsoft cares about great software, they only care about getting to the weekend.

Perhaps, if Microsoft used someone else's development tools, Vista would be somewhat leaner.
