Vista flops in Europe
p2pnet.net News:- Vista went to computer manufacturers on November 8, but, “More than half of European organisations have no plan to upgrade to Microsoft’s long-awaited operating system Windows Vista,” says BusinessWeek Online, going on:
“A Forrester survey of 302 IT chiefs at European businesses found that 20 per cent are also planning to wait up to two years after Vista’s release before deploying it. Just six per cent said they planned to deploy it within the first six months of release and 18 per cent within one year.
This reflects, “greater resistance to the Microsoft product strategy from users in the European market”.
Consumers will have to wait until the end of January before they’ll be able to buy Vista.

Is this because for various reasons Unix and it’s various Linux mutations are just as efficient as Mircosucks and a lot cheaper ?
Listen i switched to Sabayon linux and it does almost everything that Windows Xp would claim to do and the installer disc only cost me $11.00.
I can also get a Sabayon Linux high speed download from Madtux.Org for $1.20.
It also works very well with Dvd Decyrpter and Dvd Shrink thank you very much.
Vista?
Too many bells and whistles and too expensive.

I absolutely love Knoppix Linux. Made a great Internet Kiosk on an old box with no hard drives running only the live CD. If I get hacked I just turn the machine off and I’m secure again. My Windoze PCs on the other hand…

How does Windows 2000 and XP compare to this when they were just coming out?
