More people are using it than the numbers would indicate as Vista is being
rampantly pirated in India, Brazil, China and other countries. Microsoft
overestimated the sales figures by underestimating the vigor of the software
pirates. Just about everyone wants it whether they can (or are willing to)
afford it or no.
Yes, XP SP2 makes for a nice system. But I have Windows Vista doing very
well here performing quite a number of duties including everything from
letter writing, software development through game playing and virtual
machines, to video capture and editing. Windows Vista is fine and capable
for an operating system.
