But unlike Intel (which uses a completely different tick-tock process), Microsoft's tick-tock process isn't good for them.
Every time they release a bad OS there are at least a few obvious problems (and probably others):
1. Microsoft misses out on plenty of upgrade revenue they might have gotten if the bad OS had been worth upgrading to.
2. The previous good OS lives longer than intended, support headaches and other complexity.
3. Some people decide not to deal with the hassle and switch from Windows to another platform (primarily Mac OS X, but there are more options this time around).
- blackhole 14y agoNo, its not good for them. I have no idea why they do it, only that they do with surprising consistency.
- trevroll 14y agoApple do something similar. Early iPhones had no Bluetooth A2DP, no apps, awful speakers, no GPS etc. when even Nokia feature phones had all of that and more. Then they release a "new" model and make a big deal of stuff that crap phones had 5 years ago. Apple just handle the reality distortion better than Microsoft's shoddy PR department.
