C'mon, now, be honest.
I'm always a little cynical when I read, "thanks to Vista sales." Be honest, would sales be less if XP were being shipped to the OEMs instead of Vista? It's probably impossible to say for sure, since most OEMs don't give you much of a choice (though Dell is starting to). Joe Average just wants to buy a computer; meanwhile, Microsoft insults the OEM by claiming credit for the sale.
