Vista SP1 Fails to Significantly Expand Vista Market Share in Janco Study

Park City, UT - In a review of its preliminary data of Operating System market share
for the last 90 days, Janco has concluded that Vista Service Pack 1 failed in
achieving it major objective of expanding user acceptance of the new Windows Vista
Operating System. Victor Janulaitis, the CEO of Janco Associates said, "A large
number of Windows users installed Vista with Service Pack 1 but were deeply
disappointed at with Vista. Many subsequently backed away from the new OS."

There were significant driver issues along with performance and usability concerns
according to those who Janco interviewed. "Many users were frustrated with the new
User Access Control (UAC) which was not very user friendly", said Janulaitis. He
added, ".there is a perception that Vista is no more secure than XP. Plus with the
added hardware requirements many companies do not feel that Vista provides the
necessary ROI." Based on its initial data, Janco feels that Vista is an Operating
System that will take at least one more major Service Pack with may new drivers
added before it is widely accepted by the user community.

Janco will be releasing it Browser and OS Market Share White paper by the end of
this month. At that time it will publish the market share numbers for all of the
Windows Operating Systems and the Browser Market Share for IE and Firefox. Janco
has been collecting this data since 1996 and is viewed by many to be the gold
standard for these metrics.

A summary of Janco\'s browser market share data will be found on the Janco web site
() and the IT Productivity web site
().
