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!

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.

Imagine you being able to get a job that pays $6.55 an hour. What would you
do with all that money? By the way, do you even know how to install Vista?

Imagine that you actually address content instead of relying on a straw
man argument laced with ad hominems. Oh, but wait, that would require
you using your brain and actually thinking about what you read which is
obviously too taxing for you.

Re: Vista is "New Coke"

This is a support newsgroup - not a whinning forum. There are places on the
net where you can complain about Vista all you want. This isn't one of
them.

And what can you do other than wine and complain argue with everyone? Why
not attend to your 3 companies? Oh I forgot, they run themselves and just

So you afraid to tell people what your 3 business are? We don't know your
real name or who you are so even if you told the truth, what would it hurt?
But anyway, with all the time you spend in this forum, even if you had 3
businesses, I'm sure they are very small.

Because of the low lifes like you and Frank who would try to use the
information to denigrate me, of course. Would you post where you work,
your boss' name and your name? Of course, with all the time you're
posting, it's doubtful you have a job.

They're not that big but I make enough to live very comfortably, thank
you very much. As I have told you before, you won't see me posting in
the morning, Spain time. The same is true for most of the afternoon. In
fact, a client is coming up to see me right now and I won't be posting
for hours.

I wouldn't post where I work but I have mentioned many times that I work for
myself and I do software development. Big deal so you know that.

Having Vista installed is not a requirement to post here. I'm posting
using Ubuntu with Thunderbird. You, yourself, are using an out-of-date
newsreader which is gasp! an open source program. What's hilarious is
that you have Avast checking the disgusting posts you spew here.
