_goblinI'm going to have to run a little comedy on that one.....Oct 26 23:51
_goblinis there anyone Microsoft wont blame?Oct 26 23:52
oiaohm_goblin: vista was a very small test group.  Lot of people only gave positive because they wanted a free copy of windows.Oct 26 23:52
oiaohmPrice of doing testing with freebees.Oct 26 23:52
_goblin"Its not our fault Vista was a failure....it was Gods will" - Steve Ballmer explaining Vista problems.Oct 26 23:52
oiaohmTesters don't always tell the truth.Oct 26 23:52
_goblinand Microsoft did not realize that or even know themselves that Vista was a pile?Oct 26 23:53
oiaohmOld saying pay peanuts expect monkeys or elephants and the wrong one will turn up to do you task.Oct 26 23:54
cubezzzfewa: interestingOct 26 23:54
_goblinso either Microsoft are so stupid that they believed a few testers and couldn't even understand their own product....or they knew it was crap and still sold it.Oct 26 23:54
_goblinI'd say it was the latter.Oct 26 23:54
oiaohmI was in tech net at the time.Oct 26 23:55
oiaohmMost people were giving positive answers.Oct 26 23:55
oiaohmIts a bit like windows 7 more faults are appear after its release.   The question is how critical.Oct 26 23:56
_goblinI think MS knew the product sucked, I can't believe they didn't know their own product and followed what their testers said...surely one employee would have noticed that Vista was awful...surely one person would have said er excuse me, we cant sell this.....Oct 26 23:56

oiaohmSo the information they have is garbled mess so you really don't have a clue if its ok or not _goblinOct 26 23:56
_goblinIm sure but then are we saying that Microsoft truely didn't know how bad Vista was?Oct 26 23:57
schestowitzI'll wait for trmancoOct 26 23:57
oiaohmMicrosoft simply does not know _goblinOct 26 23:57
_goblinthat shows massive incompetance in my opinion.Oct 26 23:57
oiaohmI agree with massive incompetance and its also being a cheap scate.Oct 26 23:57
_goblinnot one MS employee involved in Vista noticed how bad it really was.Oct 26 23:57
_goblinare we really believing that?Oct 26 23:58
cubezzzof course notOct 26 23:58
oiaohmNone of the employees was required to test every feature.Oct 26 23:58
oiaohmAnd none of the employess were required to use it before release _goblinOct 26 23:58
MinceRschestowitz: you probably need libcurlOct 26 23:58
_goblinI know, but then even the most fleeting of Vista uses shows its issues.Oct 26 23:58
oiaohmIe dogfooding process of OS was not done.Oct 26 23:58
schestowitzMinceR: ahOct 26 23:58
_goblinand that was forgetting the poor compat/driver issues.Oct 26 23:58
oiaohmMS believed when the release the OS hardware makers would magically release drivers fixing issue _goblinOct 26 23:59
oiaohmThey had before.Oct 26 23:59
oiaohmVista is the first sign that MS that the hardware markets are getting sick of MS.Oct 26 23:59
