What do you expect from the simpletons that hang out here? It is all
how you look at the numbers. Microsoft claims it has around a billion
Windows installs worldwide. If "only" 140 million licenses have been
rendered for Vista that's roughly 10% of the install base that have
upgraded and Vista has been out over a year.

It is even more revealing when you look at how Microsoft cooks the
numbers. It isn't raw sales, not even close, much of their Vista
number is for licenses in some pre build box that HP, Dell, others
HOPE to sell. I would suspect (but don't know) that the number also
includes boxes not yet sold. Then we have the question of how many
people actually replace the preinstalled Vista with something else.

A real test would be the number of copies of Vista that have been
activated. That Microsoft won't tell and I'll wager it at best is a
fraction of that tossed around 140 million number.

And better yet, how many show up registered than after 2-4 weeks do not call
home for updates any more.

We do know this, the XP sales were unexpectedly up by 50% or something.
That means a lot of people are paying the double dip to get rid of Vista.

Don't have to. Semi-retired fool. Notice you appear unemployed and day
posting.

Interestingly still no one else is coming close to them in the market other than themselves.
It must be good being your own competitor.

Tell us, or me, how do they cook the numbers?

Sorry loser, I own the company which I'm in the process of selling to

The reason you don't feel your busted balls, is that they were broken beyond
hope quite some time ago.

LOL. Need to get PAN for XP, so I can killfile you. Or use Ubuntu where you
are killfiled.

You're just a delusional old fool already in or getting close to being

Microsoft has a long history of voodoo accountability. I defy anyone
to point to any legitimate source that shows how many Vista licensees
have actually been activated. Microsoft won't say. It is all smoke and
mirrors.

You're asking a failed accountant that even the union (mob) had no use
for. He fukked up their books so badly he had to "retire", or else they
would "retire" his dumb fukkin stupid ass permanently.
Basically, he's lucky he can still walk...that is if he can!...LOL!

Sorry AA, I assumed you knew which is why I asked, I won't ask for an explanation of voodoo
accounting, but it says a lot for superstition if it got MS to where they are today. If this
is how you feel about 'number cooking', or 'cooking numbers' I stress that you keep away
from looking into the practices of the U.S Federal Reserve, major and minor banks, the
dynamics of the stock markets regarding share, foreign exchange, bond, etc pricing. You will
really lose your nerve if that's how MS made you feel over 'number cooking', but you don't
know what is either.

Back to the subject of this thread being, 'How to keep making money while making CRAP
products?' Look into;

- McDonalds
- KFC
- Burger King
- Chrysler
- Socks made in China

If you want a more idealistic view like, 'Not making money from bad products', look into;

- RedHat Linux (for the desktop).

Speaking of which, this Vista catastrophic blunder MS done to itself, who was there to fill
the vacuum with a good product, any Linux, Apple takers? No. I do know the answer to that
question, but it's really nothing to worry over.

Linux and Apple for many are filling the gap. That is why MSFT is rushing
Win7. They know if Linux ever gets any momentum that Gates and Ballmer cash
cows would be in serious trouble.

Linux isn't going to roll over MSFT for just Vista, it will be more like
death from a million tiny cuts.

Something like what MSFT did to NOVL, what goes around comes around.
