Thurrott is quick to dismiss all the problems with Microsoft&#8217;s &#8220;Mojave Experiment&#8221; propaganda. According to Mr. Microsoft Defender, &#8220;Mojave Experiment&#8221; is so effective in making people talking about Windows Vista again. Yeah, people are now talking about how stupid this &#8220;Mojave Experiment&#8221; propaganda is. Even John C. Dvorak, tech pundit\/troll extraordinaire calls <a href=\"http:\/\/www.marketwatch.com\/news\/story\/microsoft-stunt-sends-wrong-message\/story.aspx?guid=%7B50FBBD7F%2D94FE%2D4986%2D98E5%2DD8BC81DA1770%7D\" target=\"_blank\">&#8220;Mojave Experiments&#8221; makes Microsoft humiliates ignorant users and itself<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>In addition to the &#8220;Mojave Experiment&#8221; garbage, Thurrott subconsciously acknowledges that Microsoft has only been selling Windows Vista Licenses and not installed on computers. Of course Thurrott eludes to elaborate more regarding the sales numbers (Microsoft P.R.\/Windows Weekly 70 18:00 mark). Thurrott in the past has been quick to &#8220;disect&#8221; any statistics regarding non-Microsoft products such as Mozilla Firefox, the iPod and iPhone, Linux, Macs, Nintendo Wii, and Playstation 3.<\/p>\n<p>Thurrott is so excited with Microsoft effort to strike back against Apple &#8220;Get A Mac&#8221; ads.
