Random: Some Vista adoption numbers

Thought I�d share these numbers with you.

Client agent OS usage by CounterSpy Enterprise:

Windows XP	82.91%
Windows 2000	14.88%
Server 2003	1.83%
Vista build 6000	0.32%
Windows 98	0.03%
Windows NT 4	0.02%
Vista build 5744	0.00%
Vista build 5600	0.00%
Vista build 6001	0.00%
Windows ME	0.00%

This is a sampling of what operating system CounterSpy Enterprise agents deployed at customer sites report back. In this particular sampling, the bias will be toward small to medium business, and shows a very slow adoption of Vista in business environments.

Now, what our website sees:

Windows XP	83.90%
Vista	9.38%
Windows 2000	3.59%
Server 2003	1.62%
Windows 98	1.33%
Windows ME	0.14%
Windows NT	0.02%
Windows 95	0.02%

These are the operating system versions as reported by the browser to our main website. This would reflect a mix of more general usage � consumers and business.

I�d be curious to know what others are seeing out there as well.
