mojave experiment, mojave, windows, vista, os
You have probably heard about Microsoft’s “Mojave Experiment” by now – read about in the news, on a website or a blog, or through friends or colleagues.
Basically the experiment asked: “What do people think of Windows Vista when they don’t know it’s Windows Vista?” The Mojave Experiment involved 140 participants, who had never used Windows Vista before. They were asked to trial “Mojave”, the “next Microsoft OS”. What they didn’t know was that Mojave was actually Windows Vista in disguise, and the results were very interesting.
Most participants had a poor view of Windows Vista, due mainly to the negative reports they had heard since the OS was launched – but none of them had ever tried it for themselves.
All participants were asked to rate Windows Vista before they tried Mojave and then rate Mojave after they had tried it.
94% of participants rated Mojave higher than they initially rated Windows Vista before the demo.
No participants rated Mojave lower than they initially rated Windows Vista before the demo.
Of the 140* participants polled: The average pre-demo Vista score was 4.4 (on a scale of 1 to 10, where 10 is the highest). The average post-demo Mojave score was 8.5
*includes both 120 taped and 20 non-taped participants.
