In the News "Windows' enterprise adoption declined in 2007, with the gains going to Linux and Mac OS. Vista is a bust. Forrester published the data on Thursday, but only released it publicly today. Forrester surveyed a whopping 50,000 users at 2,300-plus large to very large enterprises throughout 2007. Windows' enterprise adoption declined 3.7 percent, going from 98.6 percent in January to 94.9 percent in December. Mac OS gained 3 percent, going from 1.2 percent to 4.2 percent in the same time frame. Linux gained 0.5 percent in 2007." A classic case of 'do with it as you please'.

Who would've thought Vista would be such a disaster?

Anybody who installed it, particularly the 64bit version?

The thing Windows had going for it was that drivers where abundant for the crappy hardware out there and software usually worked. If you couldn't find a driver your hardware was either extremely old or total crap. Windows Vista violated the two good things about Windows and without them, little else is left.
