http://www.zdnet.com/zdnn/stories/news/0,4586,2685427,00.html?chkpt=zdhpnews01The most interesting quote from it
At least one developer who viewed Tuesday\'s presentation was not impressed.
"This is so sad. They\'re just lamely trying to copy Steve Jobs\' Apple presentation--right down to the
guy having a black shirt and black pants," said one Whistler tester who watched the Seattle event
via Webcast and requested anonymity. "It\'s almost like Windows ME 2. Or as Apple might call it,
Windows Me Too."
Its not a good sign when developers start to make fun of MS\'s lack of innovation.
I am not bashing MS, as I think they are great buisness, in the sense they know how to dominate a market. And, thanks to them alot of people started using computers. Though, an old Mac years ago was the first computer I used, the first one I bought was a Windows machine. And, for the time, being a new user,it was easy to use and I didn\'t complain about the crashes. After I became more "educated" and demanding of the OS, I realized it wasn\'t that great. The biggest problem MS suffers from is upgrading. They keep throwing upgrade and patches out, and people lose interest. Now, right off the launch of a diaster--Windows ME, they are talking about Windows XP. Do they expect people who just upgraded (more like downgraded) to Windows ME to spend more money on another version of Windows? Its not bashing. Its just the simple idea, that if you pay $100 dollars or so for a new version of Windows, you would expect MS to improve on the OS. Win2k as an improvement. But now, they are leaving that behind for XP, even though, really Win2k is still a new product, in terms of an Operating system\'s lifespan. So, basically, they have two new version of Windows out there, that people spent their money on, for they can come out and go.."Oh, we got it right this time. Give us another $100 dollars and pray."
And I wouldn\'t say they are trying to flash money and get a monopoly on the gaming industry. It isn\'t possible. The industry is to firm without MS around. What they are doing, is flashing money and trying to get some developers and exclusive games. Nothing big. Infact, its common buisness. I have high hopes for the Xbox--just not Windows XP.
