Microsoft Fights Back on Vista
    Smarting from low market share and unrelenting criticism, Microsoft is trying 
  to spruce up Vista's image. Steve Ballmer says a big marketing campaign is in 
  the works -- which is kinda like throwing a bunch of ad dollars to promote the 
  Yugo. It's still a Yugo.
Microsoft also announced the results of some research it did. Of course, everything 
  at Microsoft has to have a code name, so in this case the research is called 
  "Mojave." 
Microsoft sat a bunch of people in front of PCs running Vista, except all the 
  branding and items that would say "Vista" were removed. People, according 
  to Microsoft, loved it.
This research really misses the point. The complaints are less about the user 
  interface than they are about crashes, lost data, slowness, and hardware and 
  software incompatibility.
