OEMs no longer sell XP

OEMs are unable to sell XP as of June. System builders can still sell XP until June of next year. Still the problem remains...

1. Buy a New (Non System Builder PC) without Vista. (Can't be done, unless it is a netbook)

2. Buy a new PC with something other than Windows. (Unless it has Mac in the name, you get slim pickins', unless it's a netbook)

Mac OS X is showing impressive growth.

The iPhone is actually showing better growth.
Other... Is also showing consistent growth.

All together, there are no topedoes to sink the Microsoft Wintanic. No Icebergs either. While Windows XP is one hell of an Anchor. Vista is doing fair at best.

Ofcourse, you could buy a Netbook, like apparently several people on Amazon.com did..
