“A beautiful letdown” as we may call it – Microsoft Corporation’s latest (released in the market more than 2 years ago) operating system release, Windows Vista, has been a risky move for any person to switch to. Its release last January 2007 was both a time for celebration and lamentation by computer geeks and users worldwide.
Every aspect of the campaign was overwhelming – the “Get Ready: WOW starts NOW” phrase was hair-raising and almost surreal. It was portrayed like the greatest operating system of all time – glossy ads were here and there, campaign strategies were leaving audiences in awe…until several weeks and months after the release, that is. Everything fell down to a multitude of negative criticisms.
The cool thing about Windows Vista is its outstanding graphics and user-interface. This interface is very smooth and sleek to the eye. However, most users fail to appreciate this cool interface due to the plethora of problems associated from the unfathomable loops within the OS itself. Problems include the incompatibility of programs, hardware requirements and even the restrictive license agreements. Most of all, what users loath the most about this platform is its relatively slow response, compared to Microsoft’s previous operating system, Windows XP.
