The "Save XP" Crowd

More backlash against Vista: Slashdot notes the "Save XP" movement, which ignites discussions about Microsoft's Vista and XP -- with much invective aimed at Vista.

Microsoft makes a habit of noting that Vista now has 100 million users and its adoption rate is coming along as expected. But then again, most of us are forced into Vista because just about every new non-Mac computer is sold with Vista. The only real way people can vote with their dollars is to buy a Mac instead of a Windows machine, and that's happening a lot these days. Apple's operating system market share is up about 1.4 percentage points in the past year. That's not necessarily because the Mac suddenly got so much better. It's because Windows got so much worse.
