What’s all the fuss about Microsoft’s Mojave Experiment?
Well, it seems that the event organized by Microsoft hosted a mass experiment consisting of a demonstration of the future operating system’s capabilities, by allowing all the visitors to operate it for a few minutes. The deal was to play a bit with Windows Vista before getting on the Mojave system.
Seen in the media as a sneaky method of promoting the operating system in a way never encountered before in history, the Mojave Experiment is a quite impressive idea.

The Vista trial lasted 10 minutes for each user so we’re not surprised to find out that the overall mark was of 4.5, from a 1 to 10 rating scale. After this failure, people went further on the Mojave system and there were about 120 users in total, invited to attend the demonstration. At the end they had to rate this one too, and here all had another surprise – the marks went higher at 8.5 on the average. Everything was fine till that point.

Microsoft though, threw a large bomb after all this interesting show, by announcing that Mojave is actually Windows Vista disguised. Yea, and this smart thing was done to prove that users of Vista-running computers have formed a bad impression about it, which is not correct and was influenced by advertisers who are hungry for black advertising.

Other details from the media are about the hardware of the system which was running on Mojave during this experiment. There was a HP Pavilion dv2000 computer integrating 2GB of RAM memory, no extraordinary configuration. The percentage of satisfaction was as follows: 89% of users were satisfied by Mojave, 83% would even recommend it to a friend or family member.

Oh, and here are some reactions:
