Tip: Click here to update all your PC's outdated driversMicrosoft will try every trick in the book in order to keep Windows Vista sales alive. But the consistent effort the Redmond company is pouring into pushing its latest operating system gets farther everyday from a marketing campaign and starts to resemble a desperate attempt to breathe life into a product whose momentum is approaching a standstill at fast pace, a few weeks short of the first nine months on the market.
As if to contradict various reports claiming that while overall sales of Vista are still quite healthy, the adoption of the operating system in the corporate environment is close to zero, Microsoft has made available for download a customer solution case study for the platform.
Real-World Situations: Windows Vista Business Solution Case Studies paints an entirely different picture than statistics from SunBelt, Context and Panda Security. Microsoft doesn't play around with figures representing Windows Vista Business sales, however three companies are applauded having improved functionality, increased satisfaction and enhanced security, data and communication by migrating to Windows Vista.
According to Pedro Bustamante, Senior Research Advisor Panda Security, Vista has a share of just 0.92% of all the businesses managed by the company. Market research company Context placed Vista Business sales at half those of Windows XP Professional on the European market. Alex Eckelberry, president of SunBelt, revealed that CounterSpy Enterprise detected Windows Vista RTM build 6000 running on just 0.32% of the machines scanned. And at the other end there's Microsoft. "With Windows Vista, we will have greater control over the desktop and network that each user has access to, and we'll be better able to manage... other security-related elements of the network," stated Michael Black, Senior Network Engineer, AWS Convergence Technologies.
"We wanted to make it easier for [employees] to work from home. We felt that, with... Windows Vista we could encourage flexibility without sacrificing the privacy of patients' medial information", added Gary Wilhelm, Business and Financial Systems Manager, Englewood Hospital and Medical Center. And Microsoft culminates with the words from Steve Sommer, Chief Information Officer, Hughes Hubbard & Reed LLP: "Users will enjoy shared workspaces that are easily controlled, and will be able to access documents internally and over the Internet through a single secure sign-on."

the 70 million copies microsoft claims they already sold.
to be taken with a
handfull of salt i guess...
for a corporation such as microsoft.
idiot.
correction:
microsoft: we are forcing peopple to buy vista!
yes, we are!
the truth is, nobody wants vista unless your stupid or just plain ignorant.
vista is full of mistakes, bugs and errors, with evil drm built in, and unavailable
hardware drivers, not to mention a poorly planned gui interface, that slows up the
computer requiring a huge investment.
those 70 million are not customer bought,
these are oem licenses sold to manufactures only.
i installed vista on my machine since the beginning of this year and guess what: i will
never change back to xp
i don't like vista, but the people who keep whining that it has evil drm built in have
no clue what they are talking about. all it does is allow you to view protected content,
that's all. if vista didn't support it your movies would be coasters. if you don't like
drm blame the entertainment industry.
softpedia really has it in for vista. they try to make it look as bad as possible. just
the latest in microsoft bashing. i switched a high end notebook to vista and it beats xp
by a mile.
