Microsoft Japan Predicts 50% of Japanese PCs to have Vista OS

Microsoft Japan is predicting that 50% of Japanese PCs will have the Vista operating system within 2-3 years.

Microsoft is basing the prediction mainly on annual sales of Vista-installed PCs…meaning that within 2-3 years, 50% of PC users in Japan will buy a new computer.

Microsoft launched the Vista OS in Japan in January of this

year.

I have not used the Vista OS yet. I have been advised to wait a year or so until all the user discovered bugs are worked out.

The very first PC I ever had was purchased in Japan.

My experience with operating systems written/modified by Japanese for Japanese computers has been great. My NEC never, ever, crapped out on me for no reason.

My IBM Thinkpad…all the time…Dell Inspiron…same.

Gee, I wish I had a computer with a Japanese OS in it.

How about you?
