Survey Finds Few Intend to Upgrade to Vista

Posted by samzenpus on from the if-it-aint-broke dept.

thefickler writes "A recent Harris Poll has found that while most online computers users are aware of Microsoft's Windows Vista, few are intending to switch over to the new operating system anytime soon. The Harris Poll of 2223 US online adults in early March found that 87% were aware of Vista. Unfortunately for Microsoft, only 12% of Vista-aware respondents were intending to upgrade to Vista in the next 12 months."

    I don't imagine microsoft to care too much about these numbers. Eventually everyone will be running vista either because they bought a new machine and that's what it came with OR because microsoft will drop service packs for previous winnt, win2k, winxp.
