RESTING ON IT'S LAURELS CAN COST YOU
Windows may be in trouble as it circles the wagons

Microsoft got bad news this weekend as a survey shows that the majority of Windows users are fed up with security holes giving worms and viruses free reign, never ending patches, and high costs of licensing.

Almost two-thirds of respondents to a recent InternetWeek Reader Question said they are dissatisfied with Microsoft software, and 41 percent of respondents are at least thinking about switching away from Microsoft software. Only 28 percent of users responding to the poll described themselves as satisfied Microsoft customers.

What could they switch to?



But with Microsoft controlling over 95% of marketshare, I don't think Rome is going to burn just yet.
