Within the past year, alternative operating systems (as in non-Microsoft) have been gaining market share. This trend coincided with the well documented release and consumer fall out over Windows Vista. According to recent research, it looks like Vista may have one more competitor;
Microsoft has a secret new operating system they’re showing to XP-using Vista haters, reports Cnet’s Ina Fried. Codenamed “Mojave,” over 90 percent of the focus groups in San Francisco loved it, with at least one moved to effuse, “Oh wow,” while using it. When can you get hold of this wondrous new operating system? Right now. Mojave is actually just plain ol’ Windows Vista. (via Gizmodo)
For what it’s worth, if we didn’t have to go through the process of installing Vista, we’d probably like it too.
