PC Makers to Microsoft: "Vista Is Not a Seller. You Suck"
,----[ Quote ]
| Take Acer's president, Gianfranco Lanci, who has just said that "PC
| makers are really not counting on Vista to drive high demands for
| the industry." Or Samsung Electronics, who now says that DRAM demand
| has not matched anyone's predictions based on Vista's now failed
| projections, something that is being echoed by the industry as a whole.

Dear Bill Gates - where are the 20m Vista users?
,----[ Quote ]
| We mailed 1,000 contacts in November discussing the likely impact of
| Vista and O'07 on business and future communications. The replies at
| the time were somewhat muted. Some people even wrote back asking what
| Vista was and we had to point them in the right direction.
