Vista Makes Headway into Business

Almost a year and a half since its launch, Windows Vista may be ready to penetrate big business and win the hearts and minds of CIOs, according to some watchers. Microsoft accepts that Vista has only penetrated about five per cent of large business accounts (and even that figure might be optimistic, according to some analysts) but a combination of hardware readiness, enhancements to Vista itself and application compatibility reasons could see the heavily criticized OS finally crack large accounts. At a roundtable session with media, John Curran, UK head of the Windows group at Microsoft, said, "Adoption is accelerating, especially now we’ve got SP1 out."
Curran also defended Vista’s reputation, saying the product had passed 140 million license sales and was "the fastest-selling OS in history. We’re seeing momentum whether it’s consumer, enterprise or public sector. Some of the [negative] sentiment is from people who tried Vista in the very early days and the fundamental experience is very different today than at launch."
