Not that I have done a lot of research into this issue so far... but this study was predicted back in December 2006. Now Vista has been on the market for 6+ months and most people are calling it a heap of bloated junk. It is slow, it doesn’t have the drivers for your hardware, you need to have a top spec machine to run it (with the aero interface enabled). Also, people don’t trust Microsoft, and as more people are aware of alternatives then more people will shift away from Microsoft.

If you performed a new study, I think you’d find the rate of uptake of Vista to be somewhat less steep!

A hint for anyone who doesn’t have a clue - google for "alternative to Microsoft".

Nice Prediction, but shouldn’t you make sure that the numbers add up to 100%? At the end, you have 40% Vista, 63% XP, 5% Mac, 5% Linux...

Urk! good spot Peter - the numbers may be *slightly* out then but I think the general trends should still remain true.
