| 580489 | 2007-08-13 18:41:00 | Vista is doing OK, but XP is still running pretty strong . So strong . . . that now M$ has run out of activation keys and needs to offer a new build of XP (Pro-SP2c) to allow some more sales . . techworld . com/opsys/news/index . cfm?newsid=9779" target="_blank">www . techworld . com |

I guess Microsoft has discovered when you give users 5 years to get used to an OS and don't give them enough reasons to "upgrade" to the newer version . |

| 580496 | 2007-08-14 03:05:00 | I guess they still need to get a return on the $9 billion and 5 years they took to "create" Vista. | winmacguy (3367) | ||
| 580497 | 2007-08-14 03:10:00 | According to this article our own Kiwibank won't be using Vista in the near future due to hardware constraints Hardware constraints are preventing Kiwibank from upgrading to the Windows Vista operating system, according to the bank’s enterprise architecture manager, Bohdan Szymanik. Speaking at Microsoft’s Tech Ed, Szymanik said that most of Kiwibank’s desktop PCs, which had been purchased rather than leased, were still running Windows 2000. While an upgrade of the oldest PCs would soon allow Kiwibank to standardise on Windows XP, the bank was not yet ready for Vista. computerworld.co.nz |
