Windows Mojave


Attention all of you Vista haters out there: Get back on the Microsoft bandwagon and behold the operating system of all operating systems, Windows Mojave! Never heard of it? That is most likely because it is the fictional operating system propelling Microsoft’s latest (rather strange I might add) marketing campaign for Windows Vista.

In carrying out the “Mojave Experiment” Microsoft representatives went to San Francisco in search of Windows Vista haters. They were able to recruit 140 Vista skeptics who believed that the OS was slow, frequently crashed, and was a general pain to install, although they had never actually used it themselves. When these test subjects were asked to sit through a presentation demonstrating the new operating system Windows Mojave they were thoroughly impressed with its sleek design, speed and convenience. At that point it is revealed to the surprised subjects that Windows Mojave is really Windows Vista! Suckas! Of course, the surprise reactions are caught on candid camera.

Is it just me or is the underlying message of this campaign “Windows Vista doesn’t suck as much as you think it does”? I think the hip Mac guy would do better than this.

Lipstick on a pig... hahaha. Sorry to say that Vista, Mojave or whatever you package it as really DOES suck as much as you think it does. Mac users have had it right this whole time, go figure. Cool blog!

Well, their operating system does have the cooler actor in the commercials.
