Microsoft: Vista Apps Must be Cool
Wednesday, September 20th, 2006
In an open letter posted on MSDN, Microsoft’s Windows chief Jim Allchin called on developers to 
start building "cool" applications for Windows Vista, promising "new opportunities on a scale you haven’t seen since Windows 95."
Allchin, who is retiring after launch, says that barring any last minute quality issues, Vista is on track to reach consumers in January. Analysts are predicting that the new operating system will be installed by 200 million people within the first 24 months, the quickest adoption of any Microsoft OS. "Millions of people will be looking for applications," Allchin noted.
Five years in the making, Windows Vista will bring to the table a number of fundamental changes inside and out, but it is up to developers to take advantage of them. Microsoft knows that applications are what make an operating system, and if users are stuck with their bland, legacy programs, there won’t be much reason to upgrade.[tag]Windows vista applications [/tag]BetaNews | Microsoft: Vista Apps Must be ‘Cool’
