Vista drives the switch to Macs

It certainly appears switching to the Mac has become the flavour of the month. We covered it on the last ABC Sydney radio spot, now Jason Fry of the Wall Street Journal has his story of considering switching which is backed up by Mark Cuban's experience.

The message from Mark and Jason's readers is clear, Vista is driving customers away from Microsoft. The only thing restricting Apple's growth is their retail strategy as the New York Time described earlier this week.

We've certainly had a number of clients looking at changing but so far few have done so. Those that have seem to be happy with one or two exceptions.

There's no doubt though that Microsoft has really dropped the ball on Vista. Not enough to threaten their position in the market, but even one of the world's biggest companies can't afford many more mistakes like this.
