Windows Vista: 100 Days, 40 Million Sold
Quote:
Say what you like about Windows Vista, how you'd never install it on your box, how it's too expensive, too bloated or too under-supported to succeed in the marketplace. Rant and rave and wave your Linux flag, or Windows XP flag, or heck even your old BeOS flag if you've still got it. Because, according to Bill Gates' speech at WinHEC yesterday, the naysayers don't appear to matter. In the first 100 days of Windows Vista's general availability, Microsoft sold over 40 million licenses (1 license = 1 install typically) for the new OS. Of the 40 million sold, roughly 78%, or around 31 million, were Home Premium licenses.
Currently, Windows Vista accounts for nearly 14% of WinCustomize's weekly traffic.

No, ***** reported its best quarter ever and the *** market share rose further. *****'s stock price soared past $100. So keep your gob shut and stop polluting threads with off-topic posts.

Vista will sell.....After using for so many days I can say that Vista has some impressive features under its belt & hope Vienna is the true Longhorn that MS promised...

Prakka123, like always spreading FUD.
Vista got inbuilt DRM for only HD DVD & Blue ray. Now Vista is the only one which can play these on a computer. Linux cannot & MacOS X will be forced to support this DRM too in Leopard else they cannot play HD DVDs
Oh & just to note, this DRM only affactes HD DVD & Blue Ray disks. Nothing else, if you have DVD,VCD,DivX, Xvid you have nothing to worry about.

Re: Windows Vista: 100 Days, 40 Million Sold
Yeah, Microsoft is the biggest software company in the world. The ex-CEO is the richest man in the world. They make a lot more money every quarter than Apple, a niche player in the computer industry. Every time they report quarterly profits, our friend here has to change his clothes!
Big deal.

Re: Windows Vista: 100 Days, 40 Million Sold
Thanks! I never knew you could be so accommodating. /sarcasm
Now, if you'll excuse us, there is something we were discussing before you decided to "butt" in...

please read in toto il type in simple english so u can understand:
1. Bil Gtaes not in favor of DRM
2. MS doesnt provide DRM content if u have grudge against DRM blame the content provider and not MS
3. RIAA & MPAA are for DRM hence MS has to incorporate it
its like blaming ur college professor for making u give the exam whn its not him but other organisation and authorities that make u give the exam
