Where is it? Everyone's waiting, let's hurry along.

Service packs are currently being used by Microsoft as a way of delivering updates to reliability and performance, but Vista marks Microsoft's effort to reduce the focus on Service Packs. Users are reminded that the current Update Online Service is available and working as a way to immediately deliver improvements and fixes.

Vista: The First 6 Months

October 23, 2007 by shogan in Vista

It was six months ago that we were anxiously awaiting the introduction of Microsoft's new operating system, Vista. My love of computing started when XP was introduced so Vista's introduction carried me back to the excitement of those days. If only it could have been the same.

User Account Control in Vista

October 23, 2007 by shogan in Vista

We’re six months beyond the introduction of Windows Vista. Like it or not, new units are shipping with Vista installed and you’ll search long and hard for a new computer that does not have Vista as it’s operating system.

What feature do I hear the most about when it comes to Vista? User Account Control. ”Once installed just disable it”, that’s the call I hear. Is this a good idea? Is the User Account Control just a big pain in the petuti or a needed feature?

Vista Trends

August 09, 2007 by lyle in Research, Vista

Microsoft launched Vista Business in late 2006 and Vista Home in early 2007. Our research shows that in July 2007, Vista was found on 12% of the PCs running the PC Pitstop online tests. Our research also shows that Vista is significantly lagging the historical XP launch ramp by almost 57%. In the six months following the XP launch in 2001, the operating system had grown to be found on over 28% of all PCs. Vista's prevalence, after six months from its consumer Vista Home launch, sits at 12%.

PC Pitstop Vista Survey Results

April 13, 2007 by lyle in Research, Surveys, Vista

The results of our February and March 2007 Vista Survey are in. Our initial analysis of the survey data is found below.

In summary, the results of our survey are generally not good news for Microsoft. While Microsoft's 'The "Wow" starts now' tag line for Vista marketing focuses attention to its visual and graphic capabilities, the software giant appears to have under-estimated the importance of marketing the more tangible benefits that PC users want or expect. Our survey results indicate a significant amount of uncertainty or confusion by PC users as to the benefits of upgrading to Vista.
