I have being saying this for about three years now ! From XP coming
out, there was a wholesale shift in the market away from Wins towards
linux and free open source operating systems ! In my opinion XP did
more for the open source community than it did for itself !!
I have not sold or supplied a new machine with Wins on it for eight or
nine months now !! On average, for this financial year we have
supplied 3.8 machines a week. Not one XP box !!! Admittedly slightly
more than two thirds of those go to / have gone to commercial clients.
That trend seems set to continue as more companies move towards
broadband and internet connectivity !
