I don't believe many people will buy an upgrade copy of VISTA for their machines. It will make less and less sense. Most people will get VISTA pre-installed on a new PC that hopefully will come configured to handle it. Actually, I agree... very few upgrade sales on this release. Also too, on the preinstalled comment - I think what you will see, in order to keep them in step price wise with the consumer, is a PC with bare minimums in a price range of about $1,100.00. However, they will still be scaled back hardware, slow performers, and people will be bugged with bugs again. I predict windows 95/98 all over again. Are we going to see Vista version B, C, and D?

I really think Microsoft is heading down a slippery slope here in what they are doing.

In the meantime I am becoming more and more comfortable using Linux (FC4 and CentOS). When Microsoft begins to abandon XP (like they did with 2000) I will likely switch to Linux. And with Apple porting their MacOS to x86, Microsoft will have even a harder time pushing their overpriced bloated bugware.
