burning drive

English to French Tech/Engineering IT (Information Technology)
Michael Gartenberg, vice president and research director at Jupiter Research, says that he isn't surprised to see many people still choosing Windows XP over Vista.

"Microsoft's competition is always what their last operating system revision was," he says. "And in this case, XP was pretty good."

Gartenberg doesn't see the same kind of ***"burning drive"*** to upgrade from XP that many people had when upgrading from Windows Me, for instance. He notes that people lined up to buy XP; but now, "consumers and businesses have learned to be a little hesitant about adopting new products."

Je crois que l'auteur insinue ici que les consommateurs n'étaient pas très satisfaits avec "Windows Me" (nom souvent associé avec "F... me") et avaient ainsi une motivation pressante de changer de système d'exploitation.

Peer comment(s):

agree Claire Chapman : As you have clearly shown, drive in this sense isn't about need. Instead, it is that internal force of "I want." That force that pushes us to get or achieve something.
