●● Vista 8: The Disaster Starts Now

Posted in Microsoft, Vista 8, Windows at 2:23 am by Dr. Roy Schestowitz

Summary: Vista 8 is already failing in public, long before its official arrival

THE main competitor to Linux (and Android) is starting to look like Apple, not Microsoft, so software like Vista 8 we have reduced focus on. It is difficult to ignore, however, blunders like this:

You’ve got to hand it to Kirill Tatarinov, the head of Microsoft’s ERP division. The Russian Rocket was cool as a cucumber on Monday when a demo of the Windows 8 Metro UI running on a touch-screen tablet crashed and burned during the opening keynote of Convergence 2012.[...]When Studer handed the tablet over to Tatarinov to let him submit a change to the system, the tablet suddenly froze. The two Microsoft employees frantically started pushing different buttons to get it unstuck, but nothing seemed to work. Luckily, there was a second tablet available on stage that was working, so the changes for the hypothetical app were successfully written to the pretend database, and all was well.

A sign of what’s to come. There are many more articles out there which criticise Vista 8 these days, despite Microsoft’s expensive PR campaign, which includes bribing journalists as usual. This is very telling. █
