A Tale of Two OSes: Vista vs. Mac OS X
,----[ Quote ]
| While book sales are far from comprehensive as a technology trend
| indicator, they can provide insight into consumer enthusiasm for
| new products. We've been eagerly awaiting enough data on sales of
| Microsoft Vista books to see what they tell us about the market's

| continue to sell strongly despite the fact that Vista now is the
