Is Windows Vista in Trouble?

Ken Erfourth writes "The Inquirer.net is running a story about what they consider two powerful indications that Vista is failing in the marketplace. One, Dell has reintroduced PCs running Windows XP on its website due to customer demand. Two, Microsoft is conducting a worldwide firesale on a bundle of Microsoft Office 2007/WindowsXP Starter Edition. According to Inquirer.net, at least, these are signs of serious problems selling Vista. Are we seeing the stumbling of the Microsoft Juggernaught with the slow adoption of Windows Vista?"

Is it possible that the market is learning? Perhaps the majority now *correctly* assume that Vista will be buggy, unstable, a PITFA, and will happily allow everyone else to beta-test it. And given market saturation, there are relatively fewer first time PC purchases to bundle with Vista and boost initial adoptance. Have we hit a tipping point? -- In Soviet Russia the former presidents outlive YOU!
