Vista Sales Rate Fell Last Quarter

Posted by kdawson on from the peaked-too-early dept.

Microsoft is not directly mentioning Vista demand while they brag about how much money they made last quarter, because sales fell. "[Microsoft] shipped approximately 28 million copies of Vista in the latest quarter ended September, or 9.3 million copies per month. Though the Windows developer pointed to 27 percent growth in business licenses and noted that many home users were buying the more lucrative Vista Home Premium or Ultimate editions, the rate represents a decline from the 10 million per month reported early in summer."

    What kind of fucking retarded moderator tagged this insightful?

    First, it's a troll.
    Second, Linux is difficult to sell. Can you guess why? Yes, you can download the goddamn OS free, legit.

    If everyone could download Vista for free and legit, it wouldn't touch Linux "sales".

    Let's compare apples to apples.

    Fucking worthless troll.
