Corporate Satisfaction Survey: Apple Leopard users happier than Windows XP or Vista

So it seems after a survey it revealed that corperate users of Apple Inc.’s Leopard operating system are apparently 5 times more happier or should I say satisfied with the OS than business users of Microsoft Corp.’s Windows Vista.

When the survey was done back in February 2008 of 2,200 U.S corporate computer users a staggering 53 percent of those using Apple Mac OS X 10.5 reported that they were indeed satisfied with their operating system.

But of those using Microsoft Windows Vista or Windows XP 40 percent of the former and only 8 percent of the latter were indeed very satisfied.

Paul Carton, director of research at ChangeWave Research said “”Apple continues to set the standard for corporate customer satisfaction,” and that it is fact that corporate buying plans for Macs remain at high levels and indicate that users like what Apple’s doing, continued Carton.

Look at it this way, we all know laptops are big business and will get stronger and stronger as time moves on and according to the ChangeWave’s survey 7 percent of the corporate respondents would likely purchase laptops in the next 90 days and that they are planning on buying Apple.

Survey reveals BlackBerry on top of Palm: 73 percent choose RIM

Oh it seems that things are on a downward slope for Palm according to a survey, PALM were the ones that began the smartphone revolution and we know that and with bringing in a new range of stunning corporate handsets for fleets, but it now seems that their market share has plummeted thanks to enterprise competitor Research In Motion (RIM) and their BlackBerry cell phones.

The best and lucrative cell for the corporate customer base is the Palm Treo and of course is a status symbol amongst the business suits and this is what makes the latest survey from Change Wave extremely disturbing.

The Change Wave has given a number of RIM BlackBerry and Palm handsets, they have not disclosed their research methods that corporations use in their workforce, and so what does this mean? Well the research actually gives the bigger picture that the corporate sector has indeed been purchasing larger quantities of BlackBerry smartphones while Palm’s share continued to slip away.

Palm saw their enterprise smartphones take 28% of those companies surveyed in February 07 and a year later Palm has shrunk to 18% which is pretty bad on the scale of things, 59% of companies chose RIM BlackBerry cell phones and a staggering % choosing the BlackBerry in February 08.
