Then again - I have heard from a fellow I know at CompUSA that the sales of Vista have gone FAR slower than they anticipated - with lots of copies not even unboxed from the cartons...
He also said that they have about a week's worth of backlog in the tech/repair dept. at their store. He said that people are trying to install Vista on machines that they really shouldn't - between hardware incompatibility, to already bunged up XP installs (and one poor woman that actually tried to install Vista on an old 98SE machine...ugh), to machines that just need to have the drive formatted because they are so badly infected.
That's hardly the fault of Vista.
Sales of boxes of Vista may indeed be slow... People should think hard about upgrading old machines. I probably won't on my old machine. It was originally 98 Machine, ugraded to XP and doing fine as is. I'll probably have to look forward to a new machine before I get Vista.
