Re: [News] Vista Has a Serious Installed Base Problem

After takin' a swig o' grog, Roy Schestowitz belched out this bit o' wisdom:

Maybe OK should be reading this, to understand that 20 million force-fed
OEM licenses does not constitute 20 million users of Vista.

I like the image showing a Windows Vista box, with this text:

   "THIS TIME we've not just cut corners, we've rounded them off."

And this:

   By comparison, NPD Group Inc. found that first-week sales of boxed
   copies of Vista were down 60% compared with first-week boxed copies
   of Windows XP five years earlier.

Of course, only a moron would buy a boxed copy of Vista, unless his
current OEM Vista went belly up.

   Windows Vista -- "This time we've not just cut corners, we've rounded
   them off."
