Dont be a positive negative (vista fanboy)- seemingly positive, but in

reality supporting negative things.

Just accept the truth as it is.

I'd like some details on that "truth" since the article gives none. The

word "unsatisfied" can mean many things. 66% are apparently "satisfied,"

which is better than you can say for most Presidents. A lot of people don't

really know what they're doing anyhow. Are they qualified to judge it?

I don't consider Vista light years above XP, but who says that's even

possible? The notion that things can be progressively more complex, yet

simpler for the user seems like a pipe dream. At least Vista hasn't crashed

on me yet. I don't know if that's Vista or my new dual-core machine.

I set Vista to Windows Classic mode favoring performance over the slick

Aero interface. I like the new built-in software like speech recognition,

Media Center, etc.. I'd call Vista a 20% improvement over XP for personal

use.

So.

That survey doesn't encompass the population at large, but "members" of

Changewave Research (whom are compensated for their time).

Did you know that 78% of all statistics posted in newsgroups are made up?

You exaggerate for unknown reasons nobody ever said MS sold billions of

copies.

MS says they've sold 55 million.

Somebody said "billion(s)" of copies of Vista were in use.

Those two statements are not in conflict when you consider China.

I wouldn't have said it if some bozo didn't use it. It may not have

been plural and only billion, but for sure one of the fanboy morons

recently used the B word in describing how many copies of Vista

Microsoft sold/were being used.

Bogus on several grounds. You really want to rehash this, I explained

why that isn't accurate in other threads before.

Since you insist on playing this game let me cite a knowledgeable

source. At least we can hope the CIA is reasonably accurate,

considering the billions of tax dollars they get each year. One public

project they had going for years is something called the CIA Fact

Book. Interesting reading.

https://www.cia.gov/library/publications/the-world-factbook/geos/ch.html

Now lets consider why your statement is foolish.

According to the above site, China has a population of 1,321,851,888

according to a July 2007 estimate. If you keep scrolling down you'll

see the estimate for Internet users is 137 million. A small fraction

of the total population. Even being generous and saying twice or three

even four times as many have computers you're still far below the

number you apparently pulled out of thin air. Then we didn't even

consider the number of elderly that in a mostly still poor country

wouldn't even know about computers let alone have one. Ditto for young

children. So your number of a billion Windows users in China is way

off.

Even assuming that number is accurate (I know better) that would mean

what the other guy said is off by 940,000,000.

You guys are too damn funny for words!
