Vista: the Worst Windows Ever?
Vista: The First 6 Months
,----[ Quote ]
| Launch Week Sales Boxed Retail Version
| 1. Windows 98 400,000 copies
| 2. Windows XP 300,000 copies
| 3. Windows 2000 200,000 copies
| 4. Windows Vista 125,000 copies

| Sales of the Vista stand-alone unit are only 60% of what the sales of XP were
| in its first six months. That's not conjecture it's fact. That drop is
| reflected in individual units and in a corresponding drop in revenue.

No amount of money and bought PR can brush off the disaster that was Vista.

| So there you go, reasons enough to look elsewhere for your next desktop OS
| and if there was one aspect to the entire desktop OS market that really
| grabbed my attention over the last year it would have to be just how much
| better the alternatives to Windows have become. Both OSX and Ubuntu in
| particular have grow from something I would have only recommended to fellow
| gurus to full-fledged alternatives that in some cases even provide a
| significantly better experience for the desktop user than Windows Vista.
