Windows Vista Adoption Keeps Growing | |
|
||
| Time: 00:17 EST/05:17 GMT | News Source: Windows Vista Blog | Posted By: Kenneth van Surksum | ||
|
Chris Flores: There's been a steady amount of buzz around the ‘net recently about Windows Vista adoption, sparked by a blog post last week questioning Windows Vista adoption rates and most recently by some great number crunching by Computerworld. In light of the various claims, I thought I would offer up some perspective on Windows Vista deployment numbers ... and what experienced industry watchers, like Forrester and CDW, are saying about Windows Vista.
First, you've heard us say before that we've sold more than 180 million Windows Vista licenses (40 million of those in the last quarter alone) and that major enterprises like Continental Airlines, the United States Air Force, Virgin Megastores, Charter, Avanade, Eastman Chemical and PPG are deploying seats by the thousands (and in some cases by the tens of thousands). That's still true. You can read about these and other Windows Vista deployments at Microsoft.com/casestudies. | ||

| The Windows Vista blog is becoming more and more the Windows Vista Marketing blog if you ask me... |

| Kenneth... would you prefer that MSDN does the Vista marketing instead? LOL |

| I was just thinking how the only sites on the planet that talk about positive Vista adoption are all MS-related. |

What I find amusing is that the other day some site claimed Vista was a disaster because only 35% of its users had Vista on the PC.
Latch was ecstatic until I pointed out that 35% was an amazing adoption rate (especially when the other 65% were using XP - nobody uses Linux). |

#7: That's not quite the way I remember it. The way it really happened, you were crowing that a survey of only Windows users found that 100% of them use Windows.

"in September 2003, 23 months after its release, XP was running on only 6.6% of corporate PCs in the U.S. and Canada, according to data compiled by AssetMetrix Inc."
"In comparison, Forrester Research Inc. reported that as of the end of June -- 19 months after Vista's November 2006 debut for business users -- the new operating system was running on 8.8% of enterprise PCs worldwide. " "However, even Gartner, that prophet of Windows' doom, forecasts that Vista will be more popular at the end of this year than XP was at a similar juncture -- with 28% of the PC operating system installed base worldwide, vs. 22% for XP at the end of 2003." http://www.pcworld.com/article/150263/article.html?tk=nl_dnxnws This post was edited by NotParkerToo on Tuesday, August 26, 2008 at 14:16. |

#9: Wow, more deep insight from parkkker - complete with an Edit tag as usual. You can't even cut & paste without screwing it up.
After 12 months, XP was supposedly on 40% of Windows systems worldwide. Vista is currently below 10%, regardless of how many silly "licenses" MS shipped. |

Well at least he posts a link to back up his data - why don't you post one to back up what you are saying about Vista being on less then 10 percent of PCs world wide which sounds like BS to me. I have never seen that number quoted anywhere even with the most conservative statistics. Net applications says almost 17 percent are Vista. http://marketshare.hitslink.com/report.aspx?qprid=10 |

#10 You can't stop fibbing ...
" I contacted Gartner and they were kind enough to mail me their latest numbers. This data does not exactly match with that of the ChannelWeb article, but it allows us to draw the same conclusion: the adoption rate of Windows Vista is indeed comparable to that of Windows XP after its release. Here are the numbers I received from Gartner: PC Installed Base by Operating System, Worldwide Operating System 2003 2008 Windows XP Home and Follow-Ons 12% 23% Windows XP Professional 10% 40% Windows Vista Home 0% 16% Windows Vista Business 0% 13% Windows XP was released on October 25, 2001. The market share of Windows XP Professional was 10% after approximately two years. Windows Vista was available to business customers on November 8, 2006 and was available to the public on January 30, 2007. If Gartner’s prediction is correct, then Windows Vista Business will be installed on 13% of all PCs worldwide at the end of 2008. This means that the adoption rate of Vista will be a little faster than that for XP following its release. The same applies to the consumer versions." http://4sysops.com/archives/vista%E2%80%99s-adoption-rate-is-faster-than-windows-xp%E2%80%99s-the-latest-gartner-forecast-what-is-wrong-with-our-media/ |

#11: Sorry, I don't remember the link to a story I read a month or two ago.
#12: Ask ten sources and get ten different answers. You'll always pick the one that favours MS, and there will always be one that favours MS. #13: There you are. I was wondering when your mom was going to let you use the computer again. |

I have never seen a source claim that Vista is on less then 10 percent of desktops so I am going to call BS until you can post a link. Strangely, you blast parker for believing any number that supports his pro-Vista/MS stance but in turn you believe any number that supports your anti-vista/MS stance. You know there will always be people willing to post something that favours an anti-MS stance just the same as there are people willing to inflate the numbers so perhaps you should take your own advice and not believe everything you read. |

| Latch - I love how you knew I was talking to you. Makes me even more certain I was correct. Thx tool. |

#15: I don't lie as it's too easy to catch people these days, plus it's not exactly ethical. What kind of position do you advocate if you have to lie about it? I definitely read it, but may have had it wrong. I'll see if I can dig it up, but trying to search for stuff using keywords like 'Vista XP after 12 months percent" gives back a load of noise.
#16: Of course I knew you were talking to me. You never have anything useful to say except for immature snipes when you come out from under parkker's skirt. That hasn't changed in the years you've been posting here. |

"From the October 11, 2002 issue of CRN On the first anniversary of Windows XP's release, Microsoft has little to celebrate.
Less than 10 percent of Microsoft's installed base has upgraded to Windows XP since its release last October. That matches a 2001 Gartner prediction that nearly 75 percent of all corporate PCs would still be running Windows 95, 98 or NT Workstation by the end of 2002." http://www.crn.com/it-channel/18829228 |
