PCWorld Says Firefox is Strong, Vista is Weak

twitter writes "PC World has released their year in review statistics and 2007 was not kind to Microsoft. IE 6 users are equally likely to move to Firefox as they are to IE7 and no one wants Vista. 'How much of an accomplishment is it for a new version of Windows to get to 14 percent usage in 11 months? The logical benchmark is to compare it to the first eleven months of Windows XP, back in 2001 and 2002. In that period, that operating system went from nothing to 36 percent usage on PCWorld.com--more than 250 percent of the usage that Vista has mustered so far.'"

There is a significant difference between Microsoft releasing an operating system that does not fulfill expectations and the 24/7/365 FUD machine that tries by all means necessary to convince everyone that Vista is unusable, mostly by playing the DRM card and exaggerating every single flaw and small bug to death over and over again.

All that blather and you can't mention a single compelling reason for a user to switch from XP to Vista. Go ahead and enjoy your turd sandwich, fanboi.
