Google with 64 percent of market, XP still hotter than Vista.
This article claims Google has 64 percent of the search market. It is not surprising that they have cornered the market on searches. Google has the brains to do not only the best quality searches, but also the services to go along with it. They are giving away many really good services. I do question if it is a good idea to give so much power to one entity. For instance, Google’s purchase of Urchin made them an almost overnight statistics leader. I’ve not read their privacy policies close enough to find out just what they do with all the data they collect. I hope someone is watching them carefully.
The fact that customers don’t want to move from XP so quickly does not surprise me at all. XP works. Plain and simple. We finally got XP secure, why do we want to jump to a new platform so quickly? I remember when Windows 95, and Windows XP both came out there was a big move to switch. In both cases those were not solid until I believe SP2.Â
The bottom line is we will move eventually, and we will like it. Don’t push us!
