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,

Harry,
I guess if that just shows if you push Vista at the OEM side, that even
a dog like Vista can get out in the Marketplace. While the number of
copies of Vista is double that of XP, did you read that there were more
than double the number of computers sold?

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.

What did you think of Vista doubling the market share of Macs, now that
is REALLY impressive.
