Microsoft exec admits truth about Vista: "Users have known it all along but a Microsoft executive has finally admitted that Vista was not all that it could have been.
In what has been the clearest condemnation yet of the company's most recent operating system, Charles Songhurst, Microsoft's general manager of corporate strategy, said that the product hadn't really delivered for Microsoft. 'What people underestimate is the importance of good or bad products, And sometimes your products are good, sometimes the products are bad. And I think Vista was a less good product for Microsoft,' he said.
Windows 7, on the other hand, is much better than good, Songhurst argued. 'Windows 7 is an extremely good product from Microsoft. It's been brilliantly developed, and I think people probably underestimate the effects of the bad products and the good products.'"
