By comparison, in its first two months, Windows XP sold 17 million copies, Microsoft said.
"We are encouraged to see such a positive consumer response to Windows Vista right out of the gate," Corporate Vice President Bill Veghte said in a statement Monday. "While it's very early in the product lifecycle, we are setting a foundation for Windows Vista to become the fastest-adopted version of Windows ever." More

I'm sure that the majority are OEM licenses. Is there any reason to even run Vista? It certainly isnt worth $400 just to have a half ass version of what Beryl does for free. |

I would be willing to pay about 30$ for the graphical enhancements, but that's about it. Until they start to build up a good list of games that requires Vista im going to stay away from it. |
