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.

Almost double? Doesn't seem that impressive when you consider the personal computer
market has almost doubled since XP was introduced. In 2002, there were 51 million PCs sold.
In 2007, 96 million are expected to be sold.
