Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer on Vista's 'Unqualified Success'

Despite the negative attention it's been subjected to, Vista is a huge success in the eyes of Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer. "It doesn't mean that people aren't still picking on it, but we've sold 180 million copies, something like that, of Vista," he said. Consumer product marketing, however, needs some work, he added...

That's funny because a lot of those are computers that already come with Vista.

That is true, but as a company stand point they still got the money from all those copies that were sold.

I still have to say the average user buying a computer uses Vista and does not down grade back to XP.

Once they start using Vista they find how cool and fun it is and keep using it!

Funny that you mentioned that. I bought a new laptop that has Vista Home Premium x86 already loaded on it. Before I even went into the store I was planning on taking Vista off and loading XP on it. Needless to say I gave it a try and liked it after I turned off the UAC crap. I never did take Vista off when I got it to the way I like it.
