Acer CEO says Vista is stable and done

Gianfranco Lanci, CEO of Acer, said during the company’s 2008 global press conference that Windows Vista was a pain when it first came out but at this time is already stable — In an excerpt: “I think Vista, when it was introduced, wasn’t 100 percent ready, and wasn’t very stable. It was a pain point from our point of view. But now, Vista is quite stable — it’s almost done,”

On the other hand, Andy Kretzer who is the director of sales and marketing at Bold Data Technology says this: “When I buy a meal at a restaurant and it comes out ‘almost done’ I send it back. If it happens again, I stop going to that restaurant,” said Kretzer. “Software companies — and Microsoft in particular — have been getting away with this for far too long.”

Well Mr. Andy, It doesn’t cost billions of dollars to transfer to another restaurant. And whether you eat in the same restaurant or not, it doesn’t matter. In Windows Vista, you don’t have to order anything that is reportedly unstable unless you have the means to spare a few bucks to make it stable for your enterprise usage and get the benefits of the new operating system ahead of everyone else. Why Microsoft is getting away with it is because different companies have different appetites and Microsoft figured out that bigger percentage whose going to like their meal — Around 90% of the market.
