» Vista's acceptance has been slow - only 9.17% of all desktops and laptop have it as of January 2008
From:
Janco Associates, Inc.
(Janco) Eventhough Microsoft owns the OS market in the commercial marketplace,
the market share of Vista is still only a little over 9% after one year.
Currently almost 95% of all systems that browse the internet are some form of
the Windows OS.
In is Browser and OS Market Share study,
which is to be release on January 3rd, Jancofound that most users are not really
interested in the OS. Rather they are interested in the way that they can
use the systems to meet their needs.
Janco found they are basically two
types of Vista users:
- Early adopters - individuals and enterprises who
must have the latest technology.
- Developers - individuals and enterprises that
develop products either for internal distribution or external
sale.
Many users are waiting for Vista Service Pack 1
to be delivered before they will install it on more
workstations.
