Market Signals



One third of Vista machines have been downgraded to XP.
Sometimes one damning statistic can put it all into perspective. Through a survey of 3,000 computers, it was found that 35% of those systems built to run Vista had been downgraded (by computer vendors or users) to run XP. Keep in mind, this metric wouldn't include systems like mini-laptops that are able to load XP because of their frail, wussy hardware. So, uhhh, who's pumped for Windows 7? [Register Hardware]
So how does Microsoft respond? They stop selling XP despite customer protests, of course!
