Poll: Microsoft Vista Delay May Help Apple
A BusinessWeek poll about the Microsoft Vista delay yielded an interesting result.
BusinessWeek asked: “Will Microsoft’s decision to delay the next version of the Windows operating system change your PC purchase plans?”
The biggest response by a huge margin — more than 65 perccent — said, “I do intend to buy a new computer — an Apple.”
The results aren’t at all scientific, but it is interesting. Polls always skew toward the negative, but the Apple shift is huge. I’m guessing the poll must have been noted on a pro-Apple site somewhere and Apple fans responded en masse.
