In a desert of misconceptions stands out reality

Mojave (pronounced Moh-hah-veh) is a desert in south California, to the
south-east of the Sierra Nevada and north-east of Los Angeles, where there is a center of aerospace technology. Microsoft used this name to "disguise" the "next Microsoft Operating System" and show it to people who have never used Windows Vista so they can see what it can do and decide by themselves. This "experiment", that started back in July in San Francisco, revealed that 94% of respondents rated the “new operating system” higher than they initially rated Windows Vista before the demo. The reality stands out: Vista is a great OS. This blog is sort of my own "Mojave experiment."
