What a lovely industry we have. Microsoft stuffs the channels, Nintendo and
Microsoft (Zune) might be pretending there are shortage, Microsoft forces
everyone to 'buy' (not deploy) Vista and if someone wants a downgrade to XP,
that counts of 2 Vista sales...
The fathers of statistics must be spinning like ballerinas in their graves.
