Is Microsoft’s problem Apple? How about Linux? Naaah, it doesn’t even come close with their powerful 1% (or a little more?) enterprise market share. The biggest competitor of Microsoft in pushing Windows Vista is Microsoft itself, specifically Windows XP.
Forrester surveyed 600 US and European companies with more than 1,000 employees and the results indicate that […]

I cannot understand why MAC users want to run Windows Vista on their platform. Clearly, if they need applications in Windows then they should just use Windows Vista altogether especially when MAC’s security is questionable. I don’t hear Windows Vista users screaming — I need to run MAC OS here.

It is so annoying since the days of Windows XP whenever a “cannot safely remove” warning pops up when removing USB flash drives even if no files were opened in it. There was always a delay when Windows XP can detect all files have been closed.

There is an army of hackers wanting to destroy Microsoft Windows and I doubt the number of people wasting their time breaking MAC (only a small number of people would be affected anyways, so yeah it’s a waste of precious time) is higher than small.
I know of a few friends who has purchased MAC and […]
One of the reasons why Vista adoption is slow can be traced back to migration concerns. The cost of migrating from Windows XP to Windows Vista is serious money which companies may put aside for the time being.

Apple once had a warning on their website telling their users not to upgrade to Windows Vista for the time being since iTunes, their software which sync songs with their iPod, is having issues with the latest operating system.

If you own a retail version of Windows XP there are no restrictions on the number of times you can transfer the software from one computer to another. Well, that’s about to change for the worse in Vista, with only one lifetime transfer allowed! That limitation on retail licenses is a remarkable change. Previously, a […]
