Operating System Market Share for June, 2007: http://marketshare.hitslink.com/report.aspx?qprid=2
82% are Windows XP users. ____________ I started to download some documentation about Vista but now, after I saw the satistics, I think I won't bother to make my application Vista ready! Cosmin was right again. Better to program a cool feature for the 82% of the users than to waist time for (4.5%) Vista users. Until the number will go to 20% there is nothing to worry about. ** Cosmin Prund wrote: >> From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On >> Behalf Of CubicDesign >> Sent: 18 iulie 2007 17:42 >> To: Borland's Delphi Discussion List >> Subject: Re: Problems while creating/running apps for Vista >> >> Right again!
