If think Sophos has been a bit sneaky really. UAC as it is now is more about preventing/warning users against making changes to system settings that would compromise security. I don't remember MS ever claiming it was meant to replace anti-virus, so quite what Sophos is getting at I'm not sure...oh no, "you need to buy Sophos" - that's it!
Not only is this UAC 'result' expected but it was always obvious Vista's sucessors would sell better - migration to an OS that makes big changes is always slow.
... what exactly does 234% mean...? there's no such a figure...it just doesn't make sense... quite simply it's meaningless... selling over twice as many gives you a correct idea if that's what was meant?
well, 234% actually is a number, it's 2.34 times 100%, not meaningless at all to those of us who work in accountancy anyway...so first day sales of W7 were 2.34 times the number of first day sales of Vista....
I'm not in the number though, I'm holding off a couple of months...plus I want to get an SSD to install it on to give me a nice nippy system :-)
... as I said it's meaningless and doesn't make sense. 234 IS a number but 234% is not... there's no accounting for that misunderstanding!It seems that basically Gordon should rewrite the headline to explain clearly what is meant... Percentages can only meaningfully be expressed in terms of the number 100.
Terry - if somebody told you that their house price had gone up over 100% in the last 5 years would you tell them that this information was meaningless? According to you, no - you'd know that the price had at least doubled but not by exactly how much. Now, if the same person then clarified that their house price had in fact gone up exactly 125% would you tell them that this was meaningless because "125% is not a number" - even though you (should) now know exactly how much their house price has increased by? If your answer is Yes, please take some time to consider the absurdity of your position, then come back to us when you've finally figured it out.
