LOL. this again proves that Vista failure talk is created by media and not by end-users.

In about two weeks, Redmond has managed to turn a marketing idea into something that may just shock you. Microsoft blogger Ina Fried is reporting that Microsoft managed to trick XP users in San Francisco into loving Vista simply by telling them a small fib. The company told these users that they were using a new version of Windows, codenamed "Mojave." When asked about their experience with using Mojave, over 90 percent said they were impressed with what they saw. Then Microsoft told them they had been using Vista all along.

we already have one here

And it's all about what users saw, much like typical teleshop ads. Looks impressive on TV but practically waste of money.
