Results of a survey released this week, Windows Vista Adoption and Alternatives: A Survey of Technology Professional, found what many open source supporters had long suspected – Vista is driving more companies away from Microsoft than it is attracting.
The goal of the survey, which was sponsored by KACE and carried out by King Research, was to gather data about the perceived impact of Vista on IT organisations, and specifically their operating system adoption strategies
In compiling the data, 961 IT professionals responded to the survey, with a mix of front-line IT professionals, IT managers, and IT executives.
Of those surveyed, a whopping 90% reported concerns about migrating to Vista, with 53% of participants having no plans to deploy Vista at this time.
Although it might be suspected that, with these results, those surveyed were supporters of other operating systems, 99% percent of respondents operated Windows in their work environments.
