Microsoft Exec: "You'll Miss Vista"

Oracle Goddess writes: "Years from now, when you've moved on to Windows 7, you'll look back at Windows Vista fondly. You'll remember its fabulous attributes, not its flaws. That's the opinion of Steve Guggenheimer, vice president of the OEM division at Microsoft. "I think people will look back on Vista after the Windows 7 release and realize that there were actually a bunch of good things there," Guggenheimer said in a recent interview. "So it'll actually be interesting to see in two years what the perception is of Vista." A dissenting opinion comes from Bob Nitrio, president of system builder Ranvest Associates, doesn't believe organizations that skipped Vista will ever regret their decision. "I don't think for a second that people are suddenly going to love Windows 7 so much that they will experience deep pangs of regret for not having adopted Vista," said Nitrio. If I had to bet, I'd go with Bob's take on it."

Of course!

I'll do this, just like how I look at Windows ME and remember all of the goodness it was.

Windows ME again...Vista was garbage..Windows ME was great. I was working on the Launch team on the Helpdesk... Our OS calls dropped by half in three months after release on OS issues... Need more proof ? If you had upgraded you BIOS or had a new PC you now had the capability to restore not only your changes but you registry in a separate process... That made calls much easier to fix for clients.. I ran it at home on my windows boxes alongside a few linux boxes... It made Win98SE look like crap... It's ama

We'll remember the good days

So... Windows 7 will rock SOOOOO much that we'll think of how good Vista was?

Funny, when I hear a statement like that, it usually means the newer thing sucks that much worse that we'll WISH we had it as good as we did before. Like how many people seem to like XP a lot better now...
