DRAM Makers Suffer Due to Lackluster Vista Adoption

Posted by ScuttleMonkey on from the betting-on-the-wrong-horse dept.

quixote9 writes "We've heard conflicting estimates of how widely adopted Vista has been. Now comes some hard data. DRAM makers ramped up to meet the huge expected demand for more memory needed by Vista. Except the demand hasn't materialized. Now they're suffering. Alternatively, maybe everyone's cleverly hacked their Ultimate Aero Glass Vista to fit on their old PCs."

    We've heard conflicting estimates of how widely adopted Vista has been. Now comes some hard data.

    If I'm understanding this correctly:

    • You idiots spent years screeching about how Vista was going to require jilliobytes of RAM so everyone was going was going to switch to Ubuntu.
    • Then you spent March and April crowing about how only eleven copies of Vista were sold.
    • Then it turned out that a ton of Vistas had been sold, at which point things returned to the usual "convicted monopolist" whining.
    • Now we learn that the supposedly necessary mountains of RAM didn't get sold.
    • So clearly Vista is, once again, a failure!
