Windows Vista unreadiness revealed

http://www.neowin.net/index.php?act=view&id=41661

Microsoft has finally outlined the extent to which Windows Vista was unfit
for the marketplace when it launched six months ago. A mere 650 applications
were certified for Vista when it launched, compared to 2,000 now. Seventy
"critical" enterprise applications from corporate mainstays such as Cisco
Systems, Nortel Networks, McAfee, Citrix Systems, Oracle, SAP and IBM are
"being resolved daily."

On hardware, 600,000 devices have been certified in the six months since
launch, now making Windows Vista compatible with 2.1 million devices. The
numbers were offered by chief operating officer Kevin Turner, who tried to
rally Wall Street analysts to the Microsoft flag of software - including
Windows Vista - plus services.

One very biased website linking to another very biased website.
Both known to place more priority in sensationalized headlines than
facts.

A headline often sets the tone for the bias as this one does.Another
way to write the same headline:
"Hardware and software manufacturers slow to become Vista ready in
spite of the fact they had all the resources needed."
Both headlines say about the same thing while one suits the bias of
the website while ignoring the responsibility of the manufacturers.

"A mere 650 applications were certified..."
Do not confuse that number with how many actually work and work well
which is and has been a far larger number.
Of course if you have statistics otherwise, feel free to post your
source.
Also do not forget it is the manufacturers who need to take action if
they want their product certified.
Microsoft can do nothing if the manufacturers do nothing.

Perhaps Microsoft should have waited until more hardware and software
was certified?
Wait for how long?
It is up to the manufacturers to decide when or even if to support
their customers products, no one can make them.
Of course their customers contacting them with their needs can help.
Some manufacturers start developing during the Beta stage and have
compatible components ready shortly after RTM.
RTM precedes general availability by about a month and those that
cared for their customers had products compatible at or shortly after
general release.
All manufacturers had access, it they wanted, to early builds of
Windows Vista.
How much were they willing to support their customers?
By now that answer is largely known.

Now those that do not have Vista support for their products have
probably determined their customers do not need to use their product
with Windows Vista.

Didn't read the article and probably wont but to your feedback on
the article it sure makes me feel good to know so many 3rd party
companies are just clammering to get onboard with vista in such a
short time and wow look at all them big names just resolving
issues to be a part of Vista

600,000 devices in 6 months hmmmmmmmm did you read my two cents?

Sounds to me Vista was perfectly ready for the Marketplace just no
one else was, now theey are running around lie a chicken with it's
head cut off to be a part of it.

There isn't anybody more partisan in this newsgroup towards Microsoft
than YOU Jupiter. You want to address bias, first check YOURS at the
door.

Now because I again exposed you as the phony you are be sure to say
I'm stalking you and remove all doubt you're just another fanboy twit
that couldn't be objective if your life depended on it.

Does Microsoft offer awards for being the best kiss up? You're for
sure in the running. <snicker>

Hello,

>Windows Vista unreadiness revealed

again? The sixty-thousandth time I read such a thing.
Not Vista wasn't ready, but those who don't like progress.

Greetings,

Idiot!
Read the article...if you can read.
Frank

> Idiot!
> Read the article...

I did! You are a dumbell, a fool, a moron, an idiot, a vista user!

Get lost..I hope vista formats itself and self destructs in you face just to
get away from you, forcing you too use linux

Wait...your too dumb to use linux!

Adam proves again he is a stalker.
Since he is unable to post anything of value, he needs to call names
and insult others.
When facts elude you stoop to your typical name calling.
The fact you are unable to post ANYTHING of value and are unable to do
anything other than your typical attack shows you as a stalker.

What Adam has said about name calling:
"Name calling, typical of ten year olds."

Another quote of the self proclaimed high IQ Adam:
"It never fails. Anytime somebody makes a post simply to engage in
pointless name calling, they confirm they are actually the dumb one."
This quote of yours describes your post so well.
Ignorant? Hypocrite? Liar? Something else?
Only you and more probably a professional know for sure.

And yet Adam needs to frequently call others names.
You seem unable to control your need to insult others.
Projection at work and a fair description of yourself Adam "ten year
old" and "the dumb one"
Who are we to argue when you describe yourself as such.
