As we media types shivered our way through the Windows Vista launch in Sydney yesterday (very efficient air conditioning), an irony flashed through the mind.
This was Microsoft's big corporate launch. It's all about proving Vista, Office et al is a vital piece of technology infrastructure that directly impacts the corporate bottom line. Non-IT business leaders need to know this stuff. But amusingly enough, Microsoft didn't really turn down the jargon-o-metre - although to their credit there was only one mention of Web services.
So with tongue firmly in cheek, here's my Windows Vista Launch Top 10 Jargon List:
- Productivity
- Collaboration
- Innovation
- Flexibility
- Agility
- Speed
- Seamless
- Unified
- Strategic
- Governance
Surely there must have been mention of 'The Experience'?
