03.11.2005Windows Vista 64-bit Today
Chris Flores: There appears to be a shift taking place in the PC industry: the move from 32-bit to 64-bit PCs.
We've been
tracking the change by looking at the percentage of 64-bit PCs connecting to Windows Update, and have seen a dramatic increase in recent months. The
installed base of 64-bit Windows Vista PCs, as a percentage of all Windows Vista systems, has more than tripled in the U.S. in the last three months,
while worldwide adoption has more than doubled during the same period. Another view shows that 20% of new Windows Vista PCs in the U.S. connecting to
Windows Update in June were 64-bit PCs, up from just 3% in March. Put more simply, usage of 64-bit Windows Vista is growing much more rapidly than
32-bit. Based on current trends, this growth will accelerate as the retail channel shifts to supplying a rapidly increasing assortment of 64-bit
desktops and laptops.

31.07.2008Vista use grows as Mac OS X stays flat
Windows Vista's share of

every month this year, while
rival Mac OS X -- to which
Vista has often been compared
-- has shown little, if any,
growth, a metrics company
reports.
According to
Net
Applications, in June
Windows Vista accounted for
4.52% of all systems that
browsed the Web, up from
January's 0.18%. Vista grew
its usage share each month
since its release to consumers
Jan. 30, hitting 0.93% in
February, 2.04% in March,
3.02% in April and 3.74% in
May. Apple Inc.'s Mac OS X,
meanwhile, accounted for 6.22%
in January, hit its high point
of 6.46% in May, but slipped
back to 6% in June.
If Vista's uptake trend
continues, it should pass Mac
OS X in Web usage share by the

12.04.2006Microsoft: Fast start for Vista in businesses
Microsoft is predicting that
Windows Vista will be adopted
by companies at twice the
speed as its predecessor,
Windows XP.
Twelve
months after the release of
Vista, Microsoft expects that
usage share of the oft-delayed
operating system in businesses
will be double that of XP a
year after it shipped, said
Brad Goldberg, general manager
for Windows product management
at the software maker.
"Vista is built for
businesses," Goldberg said.
"We're giving businesses the
tools they need to get out of
the gate faster with
Vista...Our goal is to have
twice as fast deployment of
Vista than for any other
operating system."
Microsoft declined to give
its own figures on Windows
XP's usage percentages, and
instead referred to research
by IDC. According to the
analyst company, XP was
installed on about 10 percent
of enterprise PCs after a
year. That would put the goal
for Vista at 20 percent.

11.02.2008Windows Vista Service Pack 1 Beta Whitepaper
When developing Windows Vista, Microsoft set out to provide higher levels of productivity, mobility, and security, with lower costs. After more than
six months of broad availability and usage, it's evident that these investments are improving the Windows computing experience. For example, in the
first six months of use, Windows Vista had fewer security issues than Windows XP (Windows Vista had only 12 issues, and Windows XP had 36). According
to the Windows Vista 6-Month Vulnerability Report by Jeffery R. Jones, Windows Vista had fewer security issues than all the popular operating systems
he studied.
Although most companies are cautious when deploying a new operating system, many have already started testing and
evaluating Windows Vista for deployment, and some have already deployed Windows Vista into their production environments and begun seeing the business
benefits Windows Vista can provide.
Microsoft's efforts to provide the best Windows experience ever in Windows Vista did not end
with its launch. This white paper describes the ways Microsoft strives to continuously improve Windows Vista. It then introduces Windows Vista Service
Pack 1 (SP1) and describes how the service pack will fit into the ongoing improvement process.
