Since the release of Windows Vista™ on January 29, 2007, Microsoft has been fighting the insidious perception of the failure of the OS, which without a doubt, is the best client operating system in the known universe, bar none.
The vicious perception, fueled no doubt by hapless competitors, uninformed yobs in the mainstream media, and the bashing-Microsoft-is-fashionable attitude of supposedly informed members of the IT press, cannot pass muster when confronted by that most important debunking tool: facts.
In this case: 88-million copies sold.
Since the end of January this year. Or, since the enterprise release last November, if you want to be precise.
If that is a failure, please explain why.
BTW, Apple shipped how many? A miniscule fraction, a rounding error.
What about the Linux desktop, that IT media darling? Not happening!
