For starters, all of Microsoft's customers who have had an unsatisfactory experience with Windows. Half of the Macs sold now are to people who are fed up with Windows and want a better system.
The operating system that is going unnoticed is Vista. Microsoft did not have huge lines of people clamoring for their new OS. In contrast, Leopard will get a enthusiastic reception when it is released.
90% of the world's computers run Microsoft.
With emerging competition, that number will drop to 80% over time, then 70%. How low will they go?
Half of Macs? What is that, 2% of the market?
I'm impressed.
I hyaven't had an unsatisfactory experience with XP. Does that make me a bad person?
Not what I've seen at all here in Daytona Beach. I was in three different Office Depot stores on launch day, and there were lines of people waiting for the computer specialist to show them the features of the new Vista laptops. Best Buy sold out of Vista Ultimate (full and upgrade) in a couple of days.
It really is a great new operating system. I've been using the final version since November and I love it.
