reluctance to switch from Windows XP to Vista, Dell and Linux

["Michael Fothergill" <mikef20000@hotmail.com>]

Dear Debianists,

I found some recent articles on google that suggest that Windows Vista is 
not displacing Windows XP very easily...  It also seems that Dell has some 
demand/interest for Linux. Even MIchael Dell seems to be using Linux 
(Ubuntu) these days.


Here they are:

People and companies don't seem to want to buy extra hardware etc to get 
Vista.  They seem to be happy enough to carry on with XP or even Windows 
2000 in some companies I work with.....

Your comments on these trends are appreciated.

Regards

Michael Fothergill
