Windows Vista on use on less than 1 percent of PCs
It’s been a month since Microsoft officially launched the Windows Vista operating system in the market. And research has shown that the operating system was being used on less than 1 percent of PCs tracked in February.
This was mentioned in a survey report released by Aliso Viejo-based Net Applications Inc.
This makes Vista currently the sixth most used operating system. Interestingly, Windows 98 has a larger market share. However, we can give Vista the benefit of the doubt considering it is pretty new in the market and most consumers are going to upgrade to it when they buy a new machine.
The report claimed that Vista’s exact share was 0.93 percent. Windows XP topped the list with a market share of 84.3 percent, followed by Windows 2000, with 4.8 percent.
Mac OS X on PowerPC machines had 4.3 percent, while newer Intel-based PCs running OS X had 2.1 percent.
Net Applications added in the report that these statistics are generated from data from the browsers of visitors to its network of more than 40,000 Web sites.

These figures are meaningless. Vista in all of its forms is a 100 foot tsunami aimed at you and you have no seawall to protect you.
Also, I have two new Vista machines and I love them, and the Office Professional 2007 that I had installed.
Don’t get caught with your head in the sand.
