2 Percent of Companies Upgraded to Windows Vista in UK

People who hate Windows Vista are feasting that only 2 percent of companies in UK have upgraded to Windows Vista.

I have reported long ago that Microsoft has already sold 60 million copies of Windows Vista and that numbers has grown to over 100 million copies already.

To know that only 2 percent of companies in UK have upgraded to Windows Vista means Microsoft is well on it’s way to sell a billion licenses of their operating system.

Those against Windows Vista may be happy of the news; but it makes me happier to know the potential of sales for the operating system.

In an excerpt of the news found here:

Asked, “What are your firm’s Windows Vista upgrade plans?”, just over 1% said they have already upgraded all desktops to Windows Vista.

Just shy of 5% said that they have begun a Windows Vista desktop upgrade program. 6.5% said they will upgrade in the next 6 months; 12.6% in the next 12 months; 13% in the next 18 months; and 18% in the next two years. That means that within two years from now, only 56% of survey respondents say they will have upgraded their firm’s desktops to Windows Vista.

In a CBR report in February, we noted how Microsoft’s CEO Steve Ballmer at that time called for financial analysts to cool down their predictions on how many copies of Windows Vista the company would sell between then and 2009.
