More XP users migrating to Linux than Vista?
There is a great poll on ZDNet @ http://blogs.zdnet.com/hardware/?p=2827
The poll ask "What’s your current Windows OS migration plans", and after 7,850 total votes the results look like this.
| From | To | % |
| XP | XP for now | 26% |
| Vista | Windows 7 | 17% |
| XP | Windows 7 | 17% |
| XP | Linux | 9% |
| XP | Mac | 8% |
| XP | Don't Know | 4% |
| XP | Vista | 3% |
| Vista | Mac | 3% |
| Vista | Don't know | 2% |
| Vista | Linux | 2% |
More people are planning to switch from XP to Linux than to Vista. No doubt a lot of people have already switched but of those still running XP, more plan to switch to Linux than Windows 7. Another 4% are undecided and another 2% plan on switching from Vista to Linux.
I would just like to throw my 2 cents in a say that I hope these Windows users switch to something with KDE 3.5, as that will give them a familiar windows like experience in Linux.
I think this is truly exciting. So much so I am inspired to write a Switch to Linux How to!
