Bucnha Haters here
Good Lord people, is it now just our national past time to bash Microsoft? Is it really news that not a many people showed up to purchase Vista as did for PS3?

We are talking about a friggin operating system here with massive hardware requirements, not a stand alone game system that every kid in the world wants for Christmas.

You guys should get over yourselves, Windows dominates the market because they provide good product. They have made the pc accessible to average everyday people that don't know a thing about manipulating open source code. They have a so-called security threat only because they are the big boys on the block and people are looking to knock them down.

By the way, the biggest reason for people lining up around the block for the PS3's and the Wii's is the simple fact that they are ALWAYS underproduced to spark even more demand. Poeple know that each WalMart is only gonnna have about 10 units per store so they get in line. I didn't stay up till midnight to buy my copy of Vista because I know it will be there for me tomorrow when I get to CompUsa during regular business hours.

Get a life you silly haters.
