MOVB-19 Vista, 1 year later ...

Microsoft Vista has been available for IT professionals as soon as 30th, November 2006. But it has been launched to the public on 31st, January 2007 (if I remember well).

Consequently, there has been some press activity about Vista first anniversary.

Microsoft point of view is that "the press and critics have lauded Windows Vista for its beautiful graphics and increased usability".

Here is my personal press review, though:

• The 15 Biggest Tech Disappointments of 2007 (Vista is #1)
• The 10 biggest technology belly flops of 2007 (Vista ranks #2 only :)
• Vista at one year: Progress and pain

Did SP1 change something? More (file copy is now as fast as on Windows XP) or less (a key audio driver is not compatible with Vista SP1) ...

So in the end :

• Most people stick to Windows XP for now.
• 90% of IT professionals do not want Vista.
• Gartner: Windows is collapsing.
  

Fortunately, Microsoft has a refreshing video for motivating depressed salesmen :)
