Following some news, Microsoft today has unveiled a site reporting about some so called Mojave Experiment.

Regarding to their own statements they recently invited 120 well known critics of Windows Vista and showed them a 10 minute video about new features of their brand new operating system development project with codename "Mojave".

By their own word 90 percent of the probants shall have directly felt happy and excited about all new features shown in this video…. features of an operating system which does not even exisit!

In reality they had shown them already exisiting features of Windows Vista everyone can already use today …. :-/

Sure this is not much more than a "cheap" advertisement approach with the aim to push there still not really accepted Windows XP successor Vista. But on the other had it shows dramatically the value of some critique - it’s easy to write what people does like to hear ….

More about the experiment background shall be published soon at the Mojave Experiment pages in a few days.

Even it is a funny idea, I’m personally not sure the world does need such tricks at least used more than one time - but perhaps  I’m the only one thinking that way?!

Things which the world does not need!! That was my first thought about when I got aware about FlyakiteOSX.
But it would have need someone else and not me … not feeling tempted to play with it!

What is it this FlyakiteOSX? From principle it is a really clever piece of software you can install on top of a Windows XP or Windows Vista giving it the look and feel of Apple’s OSX … the actual version for sure!

Apple and therefore Apple products are generally swimming on a big hype wave here in Germany actually. For sure that comes from their clever marketing and things like the iPod and the iPhone now being in every mouth, but also MACs do have some serious renaissance actually.

Anyway, I’m sure it is me being some technical nerd at the end, asfor the reason that it needed exactly a few minutes for me to decide about to install it on some old spare system I had stored away in the basement …

So a new plain installation of Windows XP and an Office was done quickly! And an installation of Safari 3.1 for Windows to give it the final ultimate touch …. and I updated the system with this FlyakiteOSX 3.5 (be aware the first offered download did not work for me, 2nd was fine).

The installation went smooth and after the reboot the system came up telling me frankly and free it would now be OSX … ROFL

It is for sure just a gag, some fake …. and I really do not know, nor want to decide about, whether or not the world does need that stuff?!
But it’s for sure some genial piece of code and I lift my hat (symbolical for sure) giving honor to the guys who have written it.

Please go on with your great work, showing companies like Microsoft and Apple what can be done at the end … when human mind insist to do!!
