Sample data taken from Steam (Sample Size 1,331,330 13-11-2007 to  28-02-2008)

This survey is pretty much consumer PC’s, Gamers in-fact.

A class of user usually known for having having high performance computers and latest in  PC technology.

So Windows Vista is running at about 16.5%, Ouch, with this crowd it should have been 25-30% at least.

The corporate/business numbers for Windows Vista vista must be considerably lower. I’m guessing 5 to 7 percent.

Take this week for example. I have deployed 5 desktop PC’s and 2 Laptops all running Windows XP Pro. Happily I might add.

Microsoft may shout “hey we sold 100m vista licenses” but its still a drop in the ocean comparatively speaking.

I wish Windows Vista SP1 would hurry up, it was supposed to be public in February but a last minute problem delayed its release.
