Windows XP Still Outselling Windows Vista

Posted by timothy on from the in-this-house-they're-tied-at-zero dept.

nandemoari writes with an excerpt from an InfoPackets article that says "While Microsoft excitedly tries to sway public opinion by touting that Windows Vista License sales top 180 Million units, Hewlett-Packard (HP) was busy smacking Microsoft down — reportedly shipping PCs with a Vista Business license but with Windows XP pre-loaded in the majority of business computers sold since the June 30 Windows XP execution date established by Microsoft — casting a lot of doubt over how many copies of Vista have actually been sold."

    Of course it matters, because this is an opportunity to jerk off all over Microsoft. Don't you know that the only way the world ever changes is when a bunch of zealots get together on the Internet to masturbate together?
