MS isn't listening ... apparently

[NewsBot]

Remember that 'Please give us more hits''Save XP' campaign that InfoWorld is running? Well they've scored 75K signatures; enough to elicit a response from Microsoft.

 

But SlashGear ain't happy ...

But the best a Microsoft rep can come up with is that they are “aware of it” and that they are listening to “feedback we hear from partners and customers,” when they clearly aren’t since there are over 75k people that took the time to sign up for this campaign, so really they must only be listening to partners who can move more and pricier higher-end hardware if they push Vista on everyone.

 

So ....

 

75,000 folk signed the petition. And let's give the petition the benefit of the doubt and assume that every single signature is from a disgruntled Vista user, and not, as I suspect, tainted by a seriously large percentage of anti-MS fanboys who would do and say anything to derail Bill Palpatine's plans.

 

vs.

 

100,000,000 Vista licenses - many of which are in use. Again, exact figures are unknown.

 

So perhaps SlashGear should ask itself; with only 0.075% of the folk who are using Vista raising a complaint, why should Microsoft switch tack and offer XP indefinitely? Wouldn't it make much more sense to fix the problems and move forward ... oh, wait ...
