Windows ME er… Vista
Oh my… I should probably keep my mouth shut but as anyone who follows this blog knows, I won’t ;-).
I just got done reading this little article over at Slashdot and, quite frankly, I’m laughing my butt off. Microsoft is planning a service pack for Vista before it really even catches on in the mainstream. This must be a new record. In all seriousness I don’t think they where really ready to release the product but due to the intense pressure put on them from the rest of the world they caved and released a half-baked Windows ME wannabe.
I guess this really raises the question if it is better to just not release till you are satisfied with the product (aka let engineering run the show) or cave to the pressure and release a half-baked product and then immediately release a patch (aka let marketing run the show). They can’t win in either case.
