Sales of boxed Vista copies down over XP
Source: News.com
___________ Sales of boxed copies of Windows Vista at retail stores significantly trailed those of Windows XP in each product's first week on shelves, according to new figures from NPD. The market research firm's data showed the number of copies of Vista Window Film - Professionally Installed Window Films Your Home, Business and Commercial Building purchased was nearly 59 percent less than the number for its predecessor XP, looking at the first week of sales. Revenue was also down, but less dramatically, with the dollar value of first-week Vista sales off 32 percent from that seen with XP. |

I would rather have XP than Vista.
But even though I have an Anti-Vista bias, I have to acknowledge that when all new systems start shipping with Vista and XP is removed from that channel, Vista will end up PWNING through attrition. |

Cut the price to 1/4 of what it is, I will buy two of them.
