Vista to prove more popular than XP
Tuesday, November 28th, 2006
People will adopt Windows Vista faster than they went for XP, according to one analyst. Ovum 
software analyst David Mitchell has predicted that up to 15 percent of PC users will move to Vista within the first year. "That would make it the fastest-moving operating system ever," he claimed.
By comparison, between 12 to 14 percent of users switched to Windows XP during the first year of its release, Mitchell said.
The take-up will occur partly thanks to the Microsoft’s Software Assurance licensing program where people get automatic upgrade to Vista, Mitchell said. "On the consumer side, there has been a bit of pent-up demand. Just look at the beta adoption in the consumer space - it’s very high," he said.
