Vista - The people microsoft never counted...

"20 million copies of vista..."
"vista is selling more than xp..."

baloney.... guys this is just hype to make people think vista is selling,
so more people can be persuaded to buy vista..
Its a well known strategy.. that if you start people doing something, them
more will follow.
But should this be based on lies? I believe that the truth is being
distorted very much.
And then you have people in here repeating this information like parrots.
Yeah. bird brains.

Before you cry out TROLL ALERT, read the following:

I am not a Microsoft hater ... but something is happening with MS with
vista...
I would suggest them to re-look their strategies, and perhaps fire some
people and get
the correct people to forward windows into the future.

I also am NOT a vista hater.... I actually advise people to get vista if
they are getting high end new computers.

I am NOT a troll, since I will be focusing on helping the windows vista
community in many ways,
as I have done before for YEARS in the XP newsgroups. Before vista I never
complained. But vista is different.

For those of you who may have killfiled me, all I have to say is that its
not wise
close your ears to different opinions. What comes to mind is the image of
the 3 monkeys:

http://ok1tzd.goo.cz/Hear%20No%20Evi...No%20Evil1.jpg

For some reason the theme monkeys+vista always comes up.. but now back to my
main subject

1) First of all there is a law suite this very moment. 10.000 People are
asking for 5 million because MS called vista capable some very low end
machines. They count THOSE machines as vista sales.
http://www.neowin.net/index.php?act=view&id=39235

2) They do not event take into account that computer sales have increased
by 100 percent because MORE people are just using computers...
So comparing sales of 2001 XP and 2007 vista has its problems.

Also MS did not count:

3) all the people that take vista back and ask for XP,
or

4) People who bought computers with vista upgrade coupons but never ever
wanted to upgrade to vista,
and kept XP (yes they counted these too as vista sales)

5) those who are very unhappy with vista and cant do anything about it
because their pc came with vista, or they have installed it already and are
horrified...

6) the people who have got vista,
but formatted it and installed linux or XP
see video
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FVbf9tOGwno

7) Or the people that have Vista, leave it on, but dual boot with XP or
linux and boot to vista only to laugh at Microsoft's horrible os.

8) Or those who use vmware or virtual pc just to get some apps running....
actually spending more time on the virtual pc than on vista itself!

Where is your data to support your claim? You believe the truth is being
distored? What makes you believe that? Where is your research?

Sounds like blowing smoke to me

I can't speak for other users of this newsgroup so I'll speak for me.
Everyone is entitled to their opinion and should be free to express it in
any appropriate forum. I just don't think posting opinions in a help group
is appropriate. People come to this newsgroup to find answers to specific
problems and many people generously volunteer their time to try to offer
solutions. Having to sort through opinions or any irrelevant commentary
while looking for help or trying to provide it is a disservice to all.

Jim

Most of his posts are telling people to migrate to Ubuntu or Linux solutions
because he hates Vista. I know, he will tell you otherwise, but if he didn't
hate Vista, he wouldn't try to get people to move to the Ubuntu platform
when they have a minor problem (or major for that matter)

If people paid good money for a nice PC and the Vista OS, they at least want
to try to make it work and iron out the bugs instead of throwing it all away
and start the painful learning curve of Ubuntu. Jeeze

JimR is correct, however options can be taken as "advice' which is also a
purpose of the Newsgroups. Having said that - I have been a Microsoft
"user" since being a Beta tester of Windows 95 (16 floppies) some years ago.
I was somewhat surprised at reading that sales of Vista were "huge" and
outpacing XP introduction. Having been, and still am, a member of several
clubs (Amateur radio and Computer) at which I present seminars- at the
introduction of XP a majority of club members purchased upgrade versions
of XP.

Currently members are NOT upgrading to Vista (verified by survey) - and
purchase of computers with Vista as replacements are minimal.

BTW - at the time of this post - there were 55 Vista general posts and 50 XP
general posts to the appropriate newsgroups.

you are 1 100% right? i don't think windows is going straight. vista really needs a big load of hardware to enable the PCs to RUN vista. so its for sure that MS joins hands with the hardware vendors to double its buisiness. lets work positively, what if mac realeases its version of Apple OS for PC's at a less price with less demanding hardware requirements. windows now gives a good chance to Apple

We know jim kirk/kirk jim/just jim/just kirk that according to you, everyone
at MS is a liar. They are all trying to "trick us". How many times are you
going to post the same agenda?

You do realize that people would be more apt to listen to your OPINION if
you actually backed up your claims with facts.

I guess we all need something to do.
