100 million copies sold, but Vista mostly absent at CES

the comments to the article are priceless!!!

I love this one:

Hell, I bought two laptops this year, so technically I bought two copies of
Vista. I tried it out a bit, but it was a big steaming turd. It turned the
laptop I bought for my wife completely unusable. It was literally the
slowest computer I've ever used, but with XP it's just fine. So technically
I count for 2 Vista sales even though I actually went back and bought XP for
those machines.

Very common occurence, I've seen estimates that more than 50% of the
Vista copies sold are not being used. MS knows they have a real
problem.

Oh they know alright.. They are missinforming shareholders about the
true nature of the situation, perhaps they are not telling a lie, but
they are not telling the whole truth either!.. And they you have the
total idiots in here (not saying names but frank is one of them) who are
so naive that they believe anything the Vista propaganda machine tells
them...
