All this means is that more computers are being sold than when XP was released, this doesn't mean Vista sold better than XP proportionally. That article makes it pretty clear -- 51 million PCs sold in 2002, 96 million PCs estimated to be sold in 2007 -- and there is the fact that Microsoft declined to show the numbers of Vista being sold at retail vs. those copies being bundled with a PC.

Vista brings nothing new to the table; if I had wanted a fancy bullshit GUI I would have switched to a Mac years ago. It’s the same reason I didn’t upgrade from 98SE to ME – ME didn’t bring anything new that I needed. XP did, so I upgraded. Vista so far hasn’t so I have no reason at all to upgrade until the programs I use stop making updates for XP.
