Windows Vista has never exactly been a favourite subject among company IT people. Migrating from Windows XP to Windows Vista isn’t exactly a worry-free process, and machines that run Windows XP comfortably may have trouble powering Windows vista. As such, adoption of Vista has been slow. Two years after Vista’s release, the OS is still struggling in the enterprise sector, according to a Forrester report.
Forrester’s report is titled “Enterprises Warming To Windows Vista”, but that’s only because they are trying to put a positive spin on the abysmal adoption figures of Windows Vista in the enterprise market. Last July, a report from that same Forrester stated that Vista adoption in enterprises was stuck at 8.8%, compared to Windows XP’s 87.1%, and they even called Vista the “new Coke”. The new report puts Windows Vista adoption at “just fewer than 10 per cent of all PCs within enterprises.”
