Guest zuoer Posted July 28, 2008 Posted July 28, 2008 Remember that some of these companies have contracts with Microsoft, and that means that they are paying them anyway, even if they don't install Vista... Just imagine how much they have vista, if they are paying them, but still prefer XP.. LOL Vista is so crap! http://www.zdnet.com.au/news/software/soa/Vista-is-New-Coke-/0,130061733,339290844,00.htm?feed=rss Vista is "New Coke" Mike Ricciuti , CNET News.com 25 July 2008 07:20 AM In a new study, Forrester Research uncovers some good news for Microsoft: Vista usage among US businesses is up by more than 40 percent since January. The bad news: still, less than 10 per cent of the 50,000 companies surveyed use Vista. More troubling for Microsoft may be the fact that most of those Vista installs are replacing versions of Windows other than Windows XP, which remains popular with both businesses and consumers. Forrester said 87.1 per cent of companies surveyed continue to use Windows XP. In the report, Forrester analyst Thomas Mendel wrote that Vista is "New Coke," and saw a strong case for bypassing the release altogether. "Windows 7 is penciled for release in Q1 2010. And who knows, by then, Apple may have even gotten its enterprise act together," Mendel writes. Microsoft has been touting the fact that Vista adoption is actually on par with past releases, pointing to some new customers, such as the U.S. Air Force. Microsoft Senior Vice President Bill Veghte told ZDNet.com.au sister site CNET News on Wednesday in the US that at the end of June, Vista was actually tracking slightly ahead of Windows XP in corporate adoption at the same stage in its lifecycle. But even some of the company's showcase early adopter customers are moving more slowly to Vista than originally planned. Continental Airlines said in June of last year that it expected to have 7,000 to 10,000 desktops moved to the operating system by the end of last year. As of May, it had only shifted about 2,600 machines to Vista. Continental now expects the majority of its machines to be on Vista by the end of this year, according to a recent white paper.

Guest big vista is Posted July 28, 2008 Posted July 28, 2008 Re: Vista is "New Coke" Did you read the article before being a dumb ars? The article involves vista and XP... it clearly states that companies still prefer XP. so it's a punch in the nose to Vista fan boys and a warning to XP users to stay put until and if a better version of windows is released. whatever you do, DON'T GET VISTA! ok?

Guest apistomaster Posted July 30, 2008 Posted July 30, 2008 Re: Vista is "New Coke" Personal opinions aside, and making no comments about the relative merits of XP or Vista OS's, the facts are that Corporate America is not rushing out to replace XP with Vista. Not even Intel, a company with a fairly cozy relationship with Microsoft. Intel decided to only allow Vista to be installed on a small number of their machines; all others will continue to use XP. This was from a recent a news story in the NYT. The majority of Vista users are those who found that only Vista was sold by OEM from whom they bought their new PC's or laptops. That does not reflect a true choice of the marketplace but rather a reflection of OEM contractual agreements with Microsoft. A really superior product does not require blackmail to achieve public acceptance. A superior product, sold at a reasonable price would be readily adopted by a customer base whom had never been given any reason in the past to be suspicious of a giant in it's field who has burned its customers many time before. In this light, Vista and Microsoft is no different than any major US automobile building corporation. Fool me thrice( or more) is not nice. It is enough to cause potential buyers to have serious reservations.

Then if linux is a "superior product", and is free, why is it's desk top adaption only at 1% after almost 15+yrs?

I don't think corporate US had an upgrage in mind either. It's more to do with business descisions. >Not even Intel, a company > with a fairly cozy relationship with Microsoft. > Intel decided to only allow Vista to be installed on a small number of > their machines; - I bet the relationship is still very much cozy. >all others will continue to use XP. This was from a > recent a news story in the NYT. - Ever wondered if the NYT has Vista installs anywhere.....! NYT has no 'truth credibility'. > The majority of Vista users are those who found that only Vista was > sold by OEM from whom they bought their new PC's or laptops.
