Despite underwhelming consumers and being snubbed by enterprises, Windows
Vista's numbers keep growing, with Microsoft Corp. saying Thursday that
it has now shipped *88 million copies* of the operating system, almost
double the number of copies of XP in the same amount of time at its
launch.
The 88 million figure mostly includes Vista-installed PCs bought by
consumers and small businesses,
JimH purchased Vista thinking it was great and the first thing he wanted
to do is figure out a way to tweak it so it wouldn't run so slow. It just
goes to show you PT Barnum was correct.

Hey dummy, I did not purchase Vista. I purchased a laptop with Vista for my
son.


JimH,

Yeah, that is what I meant to say. You do know that Dell will exchange
that for a Dell Laptop with XP. According to all the IT pros you will
see a blazing difference between the two. If you contact Dell and let
them know about your son's graduation, they will probably expedite it.

Best of luck to your son, I hope he gets a good assignment that will
keep him safe and sound.
