14 DAY TRIAL // Windows Vista Experience... Safe, easier, reliable and versatile. Microsoft is welcoming users to the Windows Vista experience, a website focused on Service Pack 1 for the latest version of the Windows client. Designed to share "real stories and real successes" with Vista at the core, the website features full case studies focused on what the operating system manages to bring to the table, now that Service Pack 1 was made available.
"Have you seen the new Windows Vista Experience site? This newly launched site hosts many stories from real small businesses who are benefiting from running Windows Vista on their PC's. This interactive site also includes the option of submitting your own story - with the possibility that your story (partner or business) may be filmed for future use on the site," revealed Eric Ligman, Microsoft US Senior Manager, Small Business Community Engagement.
According to the already submitted Windows Vista success stories, businesses of any size will save time and be more productive if they upgrade to the operating system, updated with its latest service pack. There are a total of four cases presented via video testimonies and many others in plain text, but Microsoft seems convinced that users will want to share their own Vista experiences.
Bear in mind that the Redmond company is not necessarily looking for Vista SP1 success stories, but for experiences in general. So, if you want to give Microsoft a piece of your mind, then by all means do so. However, the site addresses businesses so it's preferable you have the right kind of experience to share with the company and the rest of the world. It is likely that Microsoft will filter any negative feedback and only post success stories in order to market Windows Vista SP1, but this is not to say that your input won't actually reach the company.
