Computerworld’s Scot Finne Reviews Microsoft Vista
(Image used under: Fair Use doctrine)
In his review, he's quick to point out that 80% of the changes in Vista are good. In fact, it's very good. However, the company has shifted its focus and it shows. Some highlights from his article:
Microsoft stopped focusing on end users and now seemingly makes many decisions based on these two things:
1. Avoiding negative publicity (especially about security and software quality)
2. Making sure the largest enterprise customers are happy
the deep focus on milking the installed base for every penny goes against my grain.
I fault the DRM stuff quietly baked into Windows Vista in part because it is quietly baked in. The people who gain from this technology aren't the people who are paying for Windows.
Microsoft has already made ardent enemies of previously more or less happy Windows users through the use of its previous-generation antipiracy measures, Windows Genuine Advantage, Windows Genuine Advantage Notifications and Windows Product Activation.
