| 571665 | 2007-07-23 06:23:00 | It would appear that the PC masses have spoken as to which Windows OS they prefer and it sure ain't Vista.:eek: Microsoft sees stronger XP sales in FY08 Microsoft has said that it expects Windows XP, the operating system supposedly made moot by Windows Vista, to make up a significantly larger part of sales in the coming year. pcworld.co.nz I guess the proof is in the pudding wouldn't you say?:2cents: |

| 571666 | 2007-07-23 06:38:00 | I say people are just being negative and pessimistic towards Vista. It's all in the feelings, I say. |

| 571667 | 2007-07-23 06:40:00 | Or maybe people really are just satisfied with XP and have realised that Vista is just a bloated version of XP with more lipstick that requires more expensive hardware to run it properly to the same stuff that XP already did. | winmacguy (3367) | ||

I'm satisfied with XP. It does pretty much everything I need it to so I don't feel the need to go spend a few hundred on a new OS just because the advertising is telling me to. |

| 571670 | 2007-07-23 06:54:00 | You still have to realize that both XP and Vista are Microsoft products. In the end, they win and Apple.... well....:D | beeswax34 (63) | ||
| 571671 | 2007-07-23 07:04:00 | Where did the Wow go? Here. (www.windowsvista.co.nz) It is obviously taking more than a glossy web page to convince people to part with their cash. |

As for Apple, they are growing by about 35% a year which is about twice the industry average. I will post the results on the 26th. :) |

I just don't believe it any more! Not that i use windows at all, i just fix it for people! :) |

| 571674 | 2007-07-23 07:38:00 | Yes I'm still on XP Home and need to be convinced there are any advantages to moving to Vista aside from pretty looks. I am not a gamer so do not need direct X something. regards Digby |
