POLL: Windows Vista is Mac market chance | |
|
||
| Time: 11:31 EST/16:31 GMT | News Source: Macworld UK | Posted By: Chris Hedlund | ||

In an age of spam, spyware and viruses, concerns remain. 439 Macworld Online voters (42 per cent of the sample group) expect such significant Windows disasters will, "bring more market share for Mac". Just 53 people (5 per cent) anticipate Windows Vista will "bring clarity", the majority (546 voters, 53 per cent) expect new bugs will debut as the new OS finally lands in late 2006. 1,038 readers voted in the poll. Despite Window's history of security vulnerabilities, Apple will still face a fight, some readers warn, Microsoft is likely to flex its marketing muscle to ensure sales, one reader wrote: "Microsoft will use its advertising and marketing power to smack Apple hard, and Apple had better respond with more than oh-so-clever advertising of very few products (seen many Mac mini ads on the TV? Thought not.) or an over-reliance on the so-called 'halo' effect." Another warned: "I think that Vista will be a real challenge to Mac OS X" | ||
