PC Makers Say Vista Is Not a Seller
TekkaDon writes "According to computer and component manufacturers, Vista is not the hotcake that they were hoping for. 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. This seem to agree with Ars Technica article on the 20 million Vista copies sold as a 'huge success' by Microsoft, which can be accounted for by the natural growth of PC sales over the years."
When MS introduced the world-at-large to the DOS, it was a quantum leap backwards in computing technology. When they introduced the world-at-large to NT, they made a quantum leap forwards, but a quarter century behind.
They sucked, they still suck, and they will continue to suck until the universe implodes or Ballmer and Gates come out of the closet and admit they they are the bastard chimera children of Adolph Hitler, Bealzebob and Dubya.
