What are letdowns of 2007?
Posted on 01/03/2008
The biggest let-down of the year was the long awaited for Microsoft Vista. After five long years of hard work, what was supposed to be a promising product turned out to be unconvincing and without much enthusiasm.
Second place goes to those who participated in the so-called war for high-definition formats. Blu-Ray, HD VMD(Versatile Multilayer Disc) or HD DVD? Perhaps it’s better to wait a bit longer.
Then there’s Facebook, brought down due to Beacon, or rather, the so-called indiscreet advertising program (in that personal information was automatically shared within the social network). At the beginning of November this program appeared on the user’s pages, infringing on their privacy and giving rise to controversies.
