An independent software development company claims to have statistics showing that one out of three new enterprise PCs purchased are running Windows XP, not Windows Vista. The numbers from Devil Mountain Software, based on a study of more than 3,000 machines, found that enterprises are purchasing new machines with Vista pre-installed and downgrading them to Windows XP. The data, compiled by Craig Barth, chief technology officer at Devil Mountain, was culled from information provided by the company’s exo.performance.network project.
