Microsoft are getting a distorted view of the real uptake of Vista. When we purchase hardware we try to find equipment that has XP installed, but often the machine we need doesn't have this option, so we buy a Vista machine and reinstall XP.

Microsoft think that they have sold a Vista licence - well they have, but it is not even shelfware, it is simply discarded. Their statistics would indicate that my organisation now has over 30% Vista, in reality we have only one Vista machine for compatibility testing.
