There's no denying that Vista's reception hasn't been the best and Microsoft would like to change the image of their newest OS. They are trying that with their new marketing project, the Mojave Experiment.

Basically, Microsoft brought in consumers that had never used Vista and had them test the next version of Windows codenamed "Mojave".

At first, Microsoft asked the consumers about why they haven't upgraded to Vista and basically got responses saying that people heard it was slow, buggy, and not worth their money.

Then, they tested out "Mojave" and loved the "new" OS. They were actually testing Vista. Owned.

Here's how Microsoft is advertising the project:

"Welcome to the 'Mojave Experiment.' What do people think of Windows Vista when they don't know it's Windows Vista? We disguised Windows Vista as codename 'Mojave,' the 'next Microsoft OS,' so regular people who've never used Windows Vista could see what it can do - and decide for themselves. Now decide for yourself."

So, we wanted to ask you if you've actually used Vista and what do you think about the OS? If you haven't used Vista, why are you not upgrading?

Check out the videos of regular people getting fooled by Microsoft at The Mojave Experiment. Remember, this is part of an advertising campaign so it should be taken with a large grain of salt.
