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."

    So even in Windows Gamer Country, Vista has reached only 15% market share...

    That's perfectly OK. It's achieved a market share thats FIVE TIMES that of Linux in one ninth of the time that Linux has been out. So if your point was as a Linux advocate to diss Vista, you've done a great job of shooting down Linux.
