Essa notícia é para fazer os críticos do Windows Vista torcerem o nariz: a reporter americana Joe Hutsko, que escreve artigos sobre tecnologia no New York Times, Fortune, Wired, MSNBC.com, Washington Post, Newsweek, Laptop, entre outras publicações, migrou para Windows Vista após usá-lo por algumas semanas. Joe é fã confessa dos produtos da Apple.
Os elogios da repórter abordam o novo visual (da tela de início ao desktop, passando por ícones e menus), Windows Media Player 11 (superior ao iTunes na busca de informações online), migração de dados (ela ficou impressionada com a facilidade de executar esta tarefa), a busca (que pode ser facilmente realizada após apertar um único botão do teclado - o botão Windows), Windows Explorer (mais atraente do que o Finder), entre outros.
Abaixo estão algumas frases dela ao escrever um artigo sobre a sua "conversão" para o novo sistema operacional da Microsoft:
"Windows Vista makes an impressive first impression. From the startup screen, to the desktop, icons, and menus, every aspect is razor-sharp and super-shiny. The new system font, Segoe UI, is simple and elegant."
"On the music front, Windows Media Player is better than Apple’s iTunes at finding album information and artwork online"
"As for another player, the Zune, which Microsoft sent for me to check out, I like it’s bigger screen and, unlike the iPod’s bundled earphones, the Zune’s stay in my ears without falling out when I run."
"While this sounded like a nightmare, I was blow away by how easy it was, thanks to a built-in Vista utility called Easy Transfer and a customized $39.99 USB cable from by Belkin"
"Another everyday favorite is system-wide search. Until Vista, the Mac had Windows beat. In fact, Vista’s system-wide search in some ways beats the Mac because it requires only one keystroke — the Windows key — to bring up the Start menu, where you can immediately type."
"After several weeks with it, I have to admit Windows Vista’s shinier finish and sharp little touches when dealing with photo thumbnails or browsing music folders with Windows Explorer were more appealing to me than the Mac’s Finder. There just seems to be more useful information automatically displayed depending on what you’re looking at or working with."
"And then it hit me, the reason why I switched from Mac to Windows Vista. Because it is new. Because I am naturally curious about most things tech, and not only because it’s my job."
