This info while interesting has nothing to do with setup/installation unless
you want to posit that you can't set up Vista if you don't buy it. Put
stuff like this on the general group. It's not germane to installation.

Google and Mac, two biggest competitors comprise 2/3 of the cites. The
Reuters cite isn't a very definite article (pardon the pun) on the subject,
something about "overly aggressive" but not much else. Otherewise, it seems
all's well and that Vista is doing quite splendidly and will rake in
billions and billions in profit. Y'can't argue with this success.

Both articles make the claim that market analysts gotten it wrong a little..
neither relate to Microsoft's claims about it..

That doesn't explain the fact that certain editions are impossible to come
by.

So let me get this straight. "MAC"world reports that Vista is not doing
well?

"overly aggressive" does not equal "failing in the market place". Go back
and read.
