I haven’t had a look at this subject for a while, so it was good to get some fresh data on home computer operating systems.
Demographics
Over the 14th and 15th of January 2011 1,099 members of the goo Research monitor group completed a private internet-based questionnaire. 53.0% of the sample were male, 16.2% in their teens, 18.3% in their twenties, 21.5% in their thirties, 16.4% in their forties, 15.7% in their fifties, and 12.0% aged sixty or older.
I’m on Windows XP on my netbook and Vista on my desktop, but too stingy to splash out for the full upgrade to Windows 7 Ultimate that I need in order to run multiple language versions side-by-side.

It’s now 19 months since Windows Vista appeared on the Japanese market (last January), so this survey reported on by japan.internet.com and conducted by Marsh Inc into computer operating systems looked at how it was penetrating the market.
Demographics
Between the 21st and 25th of August 2008 300 home computer-owning members of Marsh monitor group completed a private internet-based questionnaire. The sexes were split 50:50, 20.0% of the sample were in their twenties, 20.0% in their thirties, 20.0% in their forties, 20.0% in their fifties, and 20.0% aged sixty or older.
I’ve recently upgraded to Vista as it came with my new machine. I’d put myself in the moderately satisfied category, but I’m still trying to get it set up just as I desire, and the photo management software and nengajo (New Year postcard) management software that I specially bought as a set had a “Windows Vista compatible” sticket, but I find that really means “not incompatible with Vista” as it requires full permissions in order to run.
