I make no bones about being Anti-Microsoft. Here’s one of the reasons that makes me biased against them. My own personal experience. There is an advert doing the rounds at the minute for Microsoft’s “Windows 7″ OS. The premise of the ad is that Microsoft care so much about making good software, that they fly a German Chap out to the US in order that he can test and approve Windows 7. Specifically how easy making Wi-Fi connections is in Windows 7.
I haven’t used Windows 7, so I’m not about to discredit myself by claiming the advert is crap based upon something I know nothing about. In fact, for the purposes of this post, let’s assume the Windows 7 works as well in real life as it works in the advert. If it does, one thing I do know for a fact is that they have significantly improved Wi-Fi performance since the last two versions of Windows. I had those two versions on laptops that used Wi-Fi, so I know it really used to suck very badly. So it’s great that it’s better now. But how come they didn’t put the improvements in an update to XP or Vista? How come you have to pay circa £80 for a an OS that works properly when the old ones should have worked properly?
Those adverts are the emperors new clothes. Don’t believe the hype.
