Vista's actual launch? Think whisper, not bang
As the article points out there is a lot of interest in Vista. People were literally lining up outside to get a copy of it. Sounds like all was a success for launch day and the day isn't over yet! Microsoft got it right with Vista and launch day. Build up the anticipation and the people will come. I'm looking forward to reading more of these types of stories proving how people do want Vista despite what a few anti-Microsoft fanboys say.
