Windows XP - Cocky Microsoft
A posting over at OS Weekly made me think about the future of Windows. After all, Windows continues to be the behemoth in the market-place, and even if Vista tanks (as a product), it probably won't tank as a business, which will continue to assist MS in shipping crap to market...
Windows XP usage has actually climbed to 84.18 percent. If it takes you a minute to swallow that figure, then I completely understand. While it may appear that people are switching in droves to OS X, the numbers reflect a very different story, and they help to explain why Microsoft continues to not be engulfed by fear of what OS X will ultimately do to Windows.
As you would expect, some people are questioning the validity of the data from this report, and even if it’s not right on the money, it does reflect what we already know about Windows - there is a huge gap between the amount of people who are using it, and the amount of people who are using the Mac OS.
People can attack Vista as much as they want to, but even if the quality of the product itself turns out be what you would expect from a failure, it’ll probably still be a big success. Windows commands the market, and when you’re on top, you have room to be a little cocky and self-righteous, but unfortunately, this has also caused them to not listen to or act on what their users are saying as much as they should.
