This clearly shows the arrogance, contempt and stupidity of Microsoft.
There
are so many problems with Vista with regards to apps, drivers and
critical
security vulnerabilities. Microsoft cannot ignore the huge number of
people
reverting to XP.

No business in their right mind will think of rolling out Vista on
their
desktop PC's until at least SP1.

Vista is excellent news for Linux/OSS and OS X.By forcing the major
OEM's
to only offer Vista on new PC's will seriously backfire on them.

Fact is, Vista isn't ready.
