Thought I’d share these numbers with you.
Client agent OS usage by CounterSpy Enterprise:
| Windows XP | 82.91% |
| Windows 2000 | 14.88% |
| Server 2003 | 1.83% |
| Vista build 6000 | 0.32% |
| Windows 98 | 0.03% |
| Windows NT 4 | 0.02% |
| Vista build 5744 | 0.00% |
| Vista build 5600 | 0.00% |
| Vista build 6001 | 0.00% |
| Windows ME | 0.00% |
This is a sampling of what operating system CounterSpy Enterprise agents deployed at customer sites report back. In this particular sampling, the bias will be toward small to medium business, and shows a very slow adoption of Vista in business environments.
Now, what our website sees:
| Windows XP | 83.90% |
| Vista | 9.38% |
| Windows 2000 | 3.59% |
| Server 2003 | 1.62% |
| Windows 98 | 1.33% |
| Windows ME | 0.14% |
| Windows NT | 0.02% |
| Windows 95 | 0.02% |
These are the operating system versions as reported by the browser to our main website. This would reflect a mix of more general usage — consumers and business.
I’d be curious to know what others are seeing out there as well.
