Windows 7 is growing at fast pace through development milestones, in its way from Beta to Release Candidate stage,
I have had many models with Vista (mostly laptops) on my table where WinXP just can not be installed. There is no drivers. I can tell you my customers have been rather pissed off. Many of them are now using Linux and swear they will never again buy again a PC of that brand.
I find it VERY hard to believe that you weren't able to install Windows XP on something that was running Windows Vista... common now.. that doesn't even make sense...Windows XP came BEFORE Windows Vista remember... As far as drivers go... there are TONS of drivers out there for Windows XP.. some require that you actually look around though in order to find them..
It's obvious that you don't like Windows Vista.. but you have to admit, obviously the number of people that do is far larger than the number of people that don't.. the sales figures explain that quite well...(And I don't mean OEM sales, I mean average joe goes into a store and buys it sales)..
As far as Windows 7 goes... I really don't think Microsoft will have a problem selling it...
I wouldn't even say 99%. I'd say more in the range of 80% now. I've worked on a lot of computers (There are three on my desk right now getting work done between posts) and there are a lot of prebuilt brand name machines that will NOT install XP.
7048 installed on ASUS but realtek drivers not working. any help is appreciated.
How can a regular guy on the street get build 7048???
