More Browsing With Windows 98 Than Vista Part 2
In March, I noticed that more people were browsing my websites with Windows 98 than with Vista.
Vista was released, worldwide, on the 30th January 2007. So it had been around for just a couple of months when I wrote about it so I decided to do a follow-up.
I’ve used the same site as my earlier post, over the same period of time.
Platforms

Windows XP

Windows 2000

Windows 98

0.79%
Vista
1.37%
8.36%
Server 2003
0.47%
0.26%
ME
0.28%
0.33%
As you can see, that's quite a significant increase in 4 months.
So, what's your operating system? Are you happy with it?
I use XP Professional and I won't be upgrading to Vista until I get a new PC because, quite simply, I've no real need to - XP does everything I want. I use XP Professional mostly for IIS and so I can test and develop my websites and applications without the need to use my dedicated server. It certainly saves a hell of a lot of time FTPing and refreshing!

I am still using Windows 2000 on the laptop and XP Pro on the desktop. I definately like XP the most and have heard nothing but horror stories about Vista. Maybe I will just switch to Linux….
