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.'"
I penis all over your fp. Bitch.
Should I also remind anyone that IE8 is under progress [...] that passes ACID.
IE8 doesn't pass ACID so far, the demo was manipulated...
on the day of that demo all other browsers had an error in rendering the test (they all had the same error)
afaik it was even admitted, that the test had been changed temporarily...
The MAFIAA is a bunch of mindless jerks who will be the first up against the wall when the revolution comes
Could the United States being in a state of recession have anything to do with Vista's slow growth?
No, people really don't like Vista and winners are leaving M$ all together. The US never emerged from the tech crash of the late 90's. 9/11 pushed things down further right after XP was released. Crap like ACPI and Vista's DRM have nuked what's left of the PC market and it's left people frustrated as the promises of the early 90's go unmet. The overwhelming demand for Firefox shows that people are interested in performance and will go out of their way to obtain it. Macs and GNU/Linux are filling the void. Macs and GNU/Linux are filling the void. The emergence of Google and other free software using success stories shows what can be done outside of M$.
M$ is a dotbomb that is just taking longer than the others to fail.
DMCA, Hollings, Palladium. What might have sounded like paranoia is now common sense.
