C|Net declared Windows Vista “Best of CES 2007” and then decided
“The bottom line: Windows Vista is essentially warmed-over Windows XP. If you’re currently happy with Windows XP SP2, we see no compelling reason to upgrade. On the other hand, if you need a new computer right now, Windows Vista is stable enough for everyday use. “
Clearly C|Net exhibits blanket anti Microsoft editorial style on a consistent basis that I take with a grain of salt, but don’t these guys and gals talk to each other? And is there some sour grape mentality coming through?
“Microsoft sent hundreds of bloggers (not including CNET) free copies of Windows Vista Ultimate; Microsoft did not send boxed copies, rather the software giant sent top-of-the-line Acer Ferrari laptops with the operating system preinstalled. So even Microsoft seems to admit that the best performance is only available on top-of-the-line machines manufactured within the last year or so. “
I don’t think they get it. With every new OS, Windows and Mac, the hardware bar is higher. And yes, it does run on older machines with older hardware. Sure the best performance is on the latest and greatest state of the art hardware. In the automobile world, this happens all the time. Even my dentist has better equipment than he did 5 years ago.
