Microsoft must abandon Vista that would save his own skin

While Microsoft had presented to us as the very ... By doing something like a collection of unforgivable mistakes and functional features that have been copied from various assemblies Mac OS X and Linux, Microsoft has once again successfully forgot about what we want from it.


As we all know, Vista Ultimate is the flagship of a new line of operating systems. For an additional 160 with respect to Premium Ultimate version gives you the option, the full backup and recovery, encryption, BitLocker Drive, a popular Windows Fax. But what was promised in the summer of Extras, today turned into an apology from Microsoft and the belated release of DreamScene and Windows Hold 'Em. And although each of Extras by itself works fine, the most Extras from Microsoft is another reason why the company should abandon Vista, before it's too late.


The first reason why Microsoft should abandon Vista, are the poor financial performance. According to the last published article, NPD, which appeared under the heading ... And as if this were not enough, Mac sales continue to grow, along with the upcoming release of Leopard can make the next season of Christmas sales flop for Microsoft.

Every day we are further strengthened the view that Microsoft released Vista too early and regular errors, and the company promises that can not be done, more and more annoyed Windows users.

There was a lot of talk about that Service Pack 1, should have corrected many mistakes Vista, but I have this opinion does not agree. Can SP1 be able to change stupid licensing scheme Microsoft? .

SP1 only fixes already known holes and bugs in the system, thus creating new. As we have seen since the days of Windows ME and XP, Microsoft is not the best company in terms of detecting and correcting errors in the protection system, and most likely, Vista is no exception.

One of the major problems that arose during my work with Vista, is the inclusion of a new system of DRM, the company -specific solutions for the protection of video playback. In order to prevent copying (and often it is more of a backup ) films, the operating system provides process isolation play, and if unchecked will use the components, the operating system closes the DRM content. For the first time in the history of operating systems, we forbid, even make a backup of our favorite movies!.

I also find strange that Microsoft's decision to borrow to control user access from the Mac OS X and make it much worse. If anyone knows, please explain to me why I myself have a need to ask permission if I want to do something entirely innocuous like open a third-party applications from well-known manufacturer of my software?.

Never before had I had not witnessed such deplorable initial period after the release of the operating system. For about a year, people are buying Vista and are frustrated and angry at how badly it works. Moreover, it is too much, its requirements to run much higher than that of XP, there are still problems with the drivers, but still makes itself felt terrible scheme of licensing of Microsoft products.

Future prospects look menacing Vista, and Microsoft should understand this. Chased by Mac OS X, Vista simply unable to compete at the level of the operating system to work with the best software. If Microsoft will continue to follow this path, then Vista, and not a withdrawal from the affairs of Bill Gates (Bill Gates) will put the software giant to its knees.

Of course, the absolute refusal of the operating system is very difficult, and the OS is already used by several million, so that Microsoft will be very difficult to find a good enough reason to do it. And at the same time, I can not find any compelling reason why the company could not refuse to support Vista, and will focus on the design of its new operating system. And even better would be to revert to XP, because it is certainly no worse than Vista.

As an everyday user Mac OS X, Ubuntu and Vista, I know exactly which of the OS is running and what is not. Mac and Linux operating.

The time is now. Microsoft needs to keep Vista and move on. This is the only chance of.
