[Computer and component manufacturers say] Vista is not the hotcake that they were hoping for. Take Acer’s president, Gianfranco Lanci, who has just said that ‘PC makers are really not counting on Vista to drive high demands for the industry.’ Or Samsung Electronics, who now says that DRAM demand has not matched anyone’s predictions based on Vista’s now failed projections, something that is being echoed by the industry as a whole.
A linux-centric site has an article that says Vista isn’t meeting expectations? Even though, Vista has sold more copies than any other Windows in the first month? You could argue the reasons, but mew…
I’ve got a copy of Ultimate “Signed Edition” sitting on the shelf, waiting for SP1 to be released.
I don’t know anyone who has Vista.
And I would not call this a Linux-centric site… I wish it was though.

Slashdot is a linux-centric site. Uneasy Silence is a Mac-centric site. I like Mac’s, they’re nifty. Linux is what you play with when you have no friends to play with.
Yeah, I realized you were probably referring to slashdot after.
As far as your “friend thesis” – meh. Fanboy bait.
@Mark H
Yea, you’re righ, I’m sorry. My bad.
Hmmmm… Apparently Vista has outsold XP in a big way and twice as many copies as M$ expected – 20 million in the first 30 days.
