Vista is Actually Selling

March 26th, 2007 | Category: Apple, Computers, Geek, Linux, OS, Rant, Ubuntu, Vista, Windows

I am being a little facetious here but apparently there actually is a market for Microsoft Vista despite the endless blog and news reports about its many “failings”. Microsoft’s latest operating system, Vista, is actually selling.

I am not a Microsoft head, but I also hate the haters (regardless of the product). Vista has received more that its fair share of bad press.

Every product has its good points and bad points and pledging total allegiance to only one product in any class of products is extraordinarily limiting. I am currently updating this blog with my old Mac laptop. Across the room is my home desktop PC that is a dual boot XP/Linux box. I know that I am hardly representative of most computer users, but I really don’t give much thought to the operating system anymore. Each OS has its good points and each has its frustrations. So the fact that Microsoft sells 20 million Vista licenses hardly comes as any surprise.

The rumors of Microsoft’s demise have been greatly exaggerated, and when it comes to computers, I am agnostic.
