WOW, are you WRONG
I've been avoiding registring for ZDnet for a while, but this article was SO wrong, that I had to register!

Vista IS unstable. It IS a let down. The fact that PC sales are up 12% from last year means NOTHING as far as Vista is concerned, unless EVERY customer had the choice of buying an XP box or a Vista box. ALL they have the option of right now is Vista. That is HARDLY the same as saying people WANT it. Or are even happy with it. I'm kept very busy uninstalling Vista from my friends/familys/strangers computers, and reinstalling XP onto those self same (or Linux, for those brave few).

I expect better from ZDNet then a commercial for Vista. Acer is correct.
