I also tried advertising on Stumble Upon with this page: http://www.qatarvisitor.com/index.php?cID=422&pID=1218. This was purely an experiment, as the page already returns number 1 or 2 for Qatar Driving. The results seemed strange to me: 4 out of the first 40 gave it a thumbs up, then 1 person out of the net 100 gave it a thumbs down, then out of the next 94 there was no reaction. I was a bit dissapointed - perhaps a podcast is not the right medium for this, even one that only lasts 60 seconds. Still will monitor to see if there is any remaining traffic after the end of the campaign.

loki-please explain how vistas reqs are more demanding than xp when that was released. the operating system market may have changed but not drastically enough to change this forecast-the article in question took linux and macs into account... so explain?

like this article though,didnt realise you could advertise on SU
harpo

Sorry, looked at the article and it\’s banal. Your ONLY basis for projection is 40% adoption in 2 years (as per XP) and you completely ignored
1. That the requirements for Vista are very different than for XP (relative to current hardware)
2. That the OS market is very different from when XP launched with lots of \’early adopter\’ negative sentiment
3. More mature OS alternatives for the desktop in the free segment

and you put in \"* Apologies for the lousy graph\". Not good enough. Spend some time Stumbling and you\’ll see what quality really is. Then again, I\’m delighted at your conclusions because I won\’t be subjected to advertisements, so more of the same, please.
