on France Info this morning, the computer columnist said that Vista was literally inspired by Mac OS, the operating system Apple Macintosh. You amaze me! What are the great merits of Vista? Have an interface more convenient! Mac has done since time immemorial. Have transparent windows! Mac OS X does, thanks to its new Aqua user interface for ... 2001 for the general public! A Microsoft employee also stated this morning on France Inter radio that would now be able to have the weather on his desk! Big deal, widgets (Vista will be called the "Gadgets") have been democratized by the Konfabulator software then launched into an operating system on a Mac with Mac OS X.4 (April 2005!). An engine Search for hard disk! Pffff ... Spotlight on Mac since April 2005. I still read the site digitalworld.fr "Vista includes - a first for Windows! - A schedule to manage his own time. " iCal has long been on Mac! I still read "In Vista Ultimate, Windows Media Player 11 and known to play DVDs without additional software," No kidding? Etc.. Etc..
Apparently, according digitalworld.fr , in France there would be three versions of Vista for consumers. I read on pcinpact.fr there will be four (Home Basic / Home Premium / Professional (Business) / Ultimate (Ultimate)). On the Microsoft site a while ago, I saw six in the table (plus the four preceding a Home Basic N and Business N), although the text above says: "Microsoft offers five different editions of Windows Vista. Figure it. Especially since Microsoft said: "Large, global organizations with complex IT infrastructures should focus on the editio n Windows Vista Enterprise . Another version?
digitalworld.fr explains: "Microsoft Windows Vista accepts nothing less than three different editions for the general public. The first, called Home Basic Edition is a version of Vista qu'allégée. Devoid of the new Aero graphical interface, the Home Basic edition (259 € and 145 € for update) is primarily intended for those who wish to enjoy the new Vista security, without renewing their equipment. "It's very hard: selling an operating system that does nothing, except the security that we would have expected for some time. That's marketing. I feel that families will be ripped ... And then sell a product incomplete, I find it limits dishonest. As for the price: $ 400 for full version, they go a bit!
History laugh a little, I read about this MacGeneration mail sent by a computer "Microsoft Certified"

"Do Wouahou" is the new slogan for Microsoft to promote Windows Vista ... well we already said that with the dough they have, they would still have decent pay the guy who came up this slogan, history recalls, more than three neurons to define their ad campaign but hey ... go
interest ourselves to something a little more Vista ready immediately specify ... it takes a certain mental capacity to abstraction to understand what follows, because let's be frank, is not only illogical, it is completely con.
After hesitating between 4 and 12 (some even predicted noise 18) versions of Vista available, MS focuses (for now) finally available in five versions Vista: Professional, Enterprise, family premium, full and basic family.
start with one that every good father will want to install on his PC, namely the basic family: but the poor dad how he will be disappointed when he learns that the son will not be able to use games. Yeah why should not the basic family, but at least the family premium (this I understand), integral (I still understand) or the professional or enterprise (And here I must say that I understand more ...).
So if we sum the lambda Péquin who purchases a Family Basic version for small family, just type in some word, making the mail and the Internet, while the pro, he was offered him parts of Quake 5 in the frenzied corporate network, video montages of the joys and follies Multimedia ... Certainly explained like this, I feel like being at work and at home. If we summarize a bit more, a perfect family version basic standard for the Secretary (with only messaging, Internet and Treatments of text) will be sold as a consumer version and a multimedia version will be stuck in business ....
Good or, spend ....
The father comes to realize he could not do much with its Windows Family Basic musty, then he returned to Carrefour and bought the upgrade to Family Premium (yes for simplicity, M $ sells upgrade kits). With that he said he can finally see what it looks like the new interface much talked about Vista (yes, it is not part of either the Basic, by cons it is also in the enterprise version, c ' is normal at work bored so we got us a Microsoft interface with lots of flashing lights to distract us). Dad, he is happy when he put his kit in his PC because the vendor in Carrefour had assured him that it was a "Windows Vista Ready PC's brand new ... but it sees a message screen that tells him to use Aero, there is no good config, yeah, c ' makes sense you need a PC "Windows Vista Capable" ... obviously it is not invented and not two days of training received by the seller that could fix things.
Good Dad is getting a little loving myself and he goes home to exchange his PC Crossroads "Windows Vista Ready" against a "Windows Vista Capable" (note the sense of the nuance of our friends ... Microsoft). He returned home with his Vista Capable PCs with Vista Basic Family (yes he is not stupid dad, he has already purchased a kit upgrade to premium family, but they come back later, do not rush things ... ). It installs the upgrade kit to immediately go to the Family Premium version, except that as already installed on the first PC (you know the Vista Ready he had bought first, I know it's not easy to follow, but you think it is easy to explain??) and as we have no right to turn several times, it has ben a bit pissed off, but he must find a new number series. He returned at Carrefour and requests a new upgrade kit (let's say he buys a new upgrade kit) just to get a new serial number.
This time everything is almost, well obviously it will not be able to mount the videos of the youngest or make videos with Bobonne topless on the beach at Bournemouth, because to do that we need a more advanced version of Vista (a pro or the full version), but ... he does not care because that office is soon to upgrade to Vista Enterprise with Active Directory support, support next generation 3D games (although they may connect the pad to the XBOX 360 is not the atomic bomb that, in business ???), editing software audio video (yes it is well known among Krosoft instead of work they are getting their video vacation, it explains a lot of things right?). So it's not serious, it will rise Bobonne movies on your PC at the office.
And then one day he bought a 107 cm plasma, which tears the eyes of your grandmother and he will do as his neighbor who has a Mac Mini and install a Media Center (not laugh, it is advised by Carrefour's dad). We will advise when a great software (Vista Media Center) that allows you to create a super center Media in his living room, under his super TV. If even if it's only included with the most complete version of Windows, the integral (sounds like a name of pizza or pancake stuffed pancake restaurant at the corner, but also unpalatable). You know the super version for computers without compromise "from MS, one with the Exchange server, Active Directory, Data Center, FTP and HTTP already installed. How's it going to fart dad when he passes slideshows Bobonne its plasma (telling his cousin that Valencian can simultaneously manage a database with several hundreds terrabytes thousands of concurrent users).

Go see: http://atvs.vg.no/player/index.php ? id = 7334 . You will see a video with a Microsoft executive Norway. And on what computer he boasts of the merits of its operating system? On an iMac! It's still "swollen"! This is no worse than the story around the songs available for free download MP3 by Microsoft to try to launch its Zune, the iPod competitor imitation. Computer scientists realized that some of the pieces had been encoded with ... iTunes, the software for managing music from Apple, and even different versions of iTunes ... (see Impact PC)! Here's also another video mocking the possibility to control the computer by voice ( http://www.alientechnologie.com/content.php?article.512 ).
short, Leopard, the next Mac OS system available in the coming months (Mac OS X.5) is already Vista 2.0, almost before the launch of the real Vista 1.0.
