We figured that we'd find more than a few systems within our 3,000-plus-strong membership that had been "de-Vista-fied" -- either by the manufacturer or directly by the end customer. What we didn't expect was for nearly 35 percent of all current-model PCs (that is those that normally ship with Vista installed) in the repository to be running a different OS.

In other words, more than a third of customers chose to dump Vista from their new PCs -- typically in favor of XP, but sometimes also one of the Server variants.

I'm surprised its not higher than that.

We still get new PCs with XP not because we do not want Vista but because a single application does not work with it. Our vendor is moving the application to a web base app once that happens we will move to Vista so we can do all the cool stuff with Windows 2008 server.

My school still uses XP due to the fact that they can't live without Novell for Windows. (If they ran all Windows, the server would crash and/or be hacked by us students. )

Same with my school, except because its so small, I'm usually the first suspect if anything goes wrong with the computers.

The company where I work is also using XP. I think they are also waiting for Windows 7.

Recently got a job at my school as an IT Assistant. We got some new computers and decided we would keep those with vista, if it implemented without hassless, we would change the 'old' computers to Vista too. (You know, to keep up) At first we encountered some problems with some VB startup scripts, fixed that. Then it would take 5mins to log in, fix it. Then teachers were too anoyed by UAC, disabled it. After that we had a problem were the print spooler would crash when you tried to print. In the end we got everything working and the 'old' computers still have XP. Our only problem now is teachers not used to Vista. - -"
