Microsoft Dissatisfaction Running High, Users Contemplate Switch
----------------------------------------------------------------------
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.
We asked the question: "Microsoft users are getting fed up. They're battered by worms, viruses, security patches and increasing enterprise (news - web sites) licensing costs. Aggravation has users talking about switching from Microsoft software to something else. We're trying to figure out how much of that talk is just talk, and how much is serious action. Do you seriously plan to dump Microsoft software?"
The responses:
- We're satisfied with Microsoft software and we have no plans to drop it: 28%
- We're dissatisfied with Microsoft software, but we have no plans to drop it. It would be way too difficult and disruptive: 20%
- We're considering dropping Microsoft software. We're incredibly frustrated: 17%
- We'll probably drop Microsoft software, unless things get much better: 9%
- We'll definitely drop Microsoft software, the situation is unbearable: 15%
Other: 11%
