Poll suggest Microsoft should drop Vista
Posted by Spy January 9, 2009 12:59 PM with 3 comment(s)
Filed under: ,

 I just came across a snap poll on the front page of the CNN website. No real surprise that (currently) 78% of respondents answered 'Yes' to the question of "Should Microsoft ditch Vista?". There was a significant number of voters, see below for a snapshot of the results.  

Should Microsoft ditch Vista?
Yes 78% 132249
No 22% 36707
Total Votes: 168956

 

As I said, it's no surprise really, with the beta release of Windows 7 there is already a significant buz in the IT industry that this release might actually be a significant improvement on Vista.  The enterprise administrators I have spoken with are, as always, non-commital at this stage however most recognise that the lifecycle of XP will soon be at an end.  If W7 lives up to expectations it could well see implementation in the enterprise space that never happened with Vista.  IMHO.

They can't drop it at this point. It's released. Maybe they will do like what they did with ME - just not "push" it anymore.

With the Win7 release this close, I think it's kind of a silly question.  Of course Win7 is going to see greater adoption, both consumer and (especially) business.  The only question to me is how great a fight will be put up against the new "Superbar."  It will take 2-3 minutes of end user training (which 90% of users could get by without, minus the new features), but trust me, it will receive countless hours of whining and bellyaching about the training costs.

I'll wait for the final releases of Windows 7 and Vista SP2 to make my own conclusions but I agree with bluvg about this being somewhat silly.

About Spy

Hello world, as they say. I'm in Melbourne Australia and work as a Systems Administrator. I go to work every day with a smile on my face as I just love my work. Our company works across 30+ sites around the state so I travel a bit. We use mostly MS products, IBM hardware and 100% Cisco networking...it's a sweet mix for sure. I've been around Bink's site since it's inception way back when it was just a group on the MS site...that was a while ago. Bink.nu is the leading source of Microsoft news on the web that's for sure and I love being a part of Steven's team. Anyway, hope you enjoy the site.
