Forget about 40 Millions! Microsoft Didn't Sell a Single Windows Vista!
,----[ Quote ]
| But the fact of the matter is that despite the fact that initial
| Windows Vista sales figures point to a splash and despite the 40
| million copies mentioned by Bill Gates, Microsoft failed to sell
| a single Windows Vista copy. This is as a result of the syntax
| included in the Windows Vista EULA. No Vista copy is sold; the
| operating system is merely licensed. "The software is licensed,
| not sold. This agreement only gives you some rights to use the
| software. Microsoft reserves all other rights," informs the
| Vista EULA.

When Windows Vista Is Not Your Windows Vista
,----[ Quote ]
| In the end, Windows Vista will remain your operating system if it and
| all the software that runs on top are up to date with the latest
| security patches. No code is foolproof or perfect and this is the
| case for Vista, an unpatched vulnerability is nothing else but an open
| door.
