Vista in trouble!
It looks like Vista is not gaining popularity at all!
As I have previously reported, Vista sales are sluggish; but now we also know that they will not be any better in the near future.
In fact Dell has decided to install by default Linux (instead of Windows) on some of its computers and it's now offering (again) Windows XP (instead of Vista) due to consumers specific requests.
Slashdot, too, is confirming that Vista is not doing well.
I think that people are realizing that Vista is nothing special and they'd better stick to XP or switch to a better OS (such as Mac OS X or Linux).

Hi dear,
I can't agree with your conclusion. First of all Windows Vista's sales are better than Windows XP's ones in 2002, so this isn't a defeat, this is an improvment.
Second, Dell permit people to chose between Windows Vista and Windows XP, this means that third party software houses haven't updated their applications yet and people have little problems using Windows Vista. But Windows Vista is much better than Windows XP, unfortunately Windows users were used to admin account, so they have some little difficulties with Windows Vista's permissions; this is only e temporally problem.
Talking about Ubuntu I think that it's a good offer from Dell but Ubuntu will be installed only in a small amount of PCs and probably choosing Ubuntu will cause a price incresing respect to a Windows PCs because of hardware test and much more.
Remeber, Windows will never die; it's a long time I hear this voices "Windows users are switching in mass" ecc... but since now nothing has happened.
PS: default choice for Dell laptop is Windows Vista Business, not Windows XP Professional, and I'm talking about business side PCs.
"Windows will never die".
Such as diseases! :)
