And it did wipe the floor with Linux - as EVERY desktop Windows version
has - reaching 24% market share within a couple/few years, while Linux
never even reached 2% within 20 years.
Fact.
>>That really is funny,
It WAS funny to see various drunk cola idiots declare Vista a "failure".
I watched it in realtime, here on cola.
But some Win over Lin beatdowns are funnier than others. The funniest
ones are those where the goobers at the Free Software Foundation declare
"victory" over MS or Windows - AFTER MS sells hundreds of millions of
Windows licenses.
I don't know if Microsoft can recover from those beatdowns.
I actually thought that Vista was pretty good. It was slow to refresh a
Windows Explorer window for whatever reason, but it was otherwise
alright on a decent machine. I've said it before here though: the betas
were absolutely awful and when we got word that it was releasing to
manufacturer, I was very surprised. The product was nowhere near ready
to ship, in my opinion.
>>because of how many people literally put XP on machines sold with Vista.
That's just lies and imagination.
Low-end machines with Vista pre-installed probably had many owners ask
friends to install XP on it for them. I have no doubt about it,
actually. However, the numbers were probably not that large. Most people
probably suffered through Vista and eventually upgraded when 7 was released.
