XP is still the biggest enemy of Win Vista

  
        According to the survey, the biggest obstacle on Windows Vista's popularity is still Windows XP, not Apple's Mac OS X Leopard or Linux. Forrester Research Inc. surveyed more than 1,000 executives in nearly 600 European and American companies, and 84% of PCs are running XP, up from 67% a year ago. Vista has been released for nearly a year, and the popularity of XP is rising. It has to be said that it is a satire. In the survey, 32% of companies plan to deploy Vista at the end of 2008, and another 17% said they will consider doing so in 2009 or 2010, but 38% claim that they have no intention of upgrading to the new system at this stage, and 14%. Even directly ask Vista [br> what it is. Although XP has been around for six years and reached its peak, it will not quickly decline, because "many companies are eagerly looking forward to XP SP3", and once this final patch is released in the first quarter of next year. The last glory of XP will come, and even many people will give up Vista
to return to XP, although Vista
will have their own SP1. Although Microsoft itself realized that XP is obstructing Vista, it did not dare to give up immediately. It not only extended the mainstream technical support of XP to April 2009, but also forced all brand machines to be pre-installed in a short time. Vista
, even allowed to downgrade to XP. In the May 2006 survey, 40% of companies planned to install within a year of Vista
release, but now only 7% of them really do, and most customers are still waiting to see. In the conclusion of Forrester Research Inc., the lack of detailed information in 2006, the high price of 2GB memory, and the incompatibility of programs (10-40%) are all stumbling blocks on Vista's popularity.
