People hate Vista so much that Microsoft only sold a measly 20 Million copys of Vista in the first month after it's release.......... (Microsoft sold 17 Million copys of XP in the first month).
Hp and Compaq still recommend XP Pro and Toshiba and Sony have gone with Vista as the primary OS. Dell is also moving towards Linux..... so that could explain why they are not following with Vista, looks like Dell is going in a different direction to get away from Windows and MAC.
true thay did sell more BUT more people are getting computers each year than the year before so compared to when xp came out vista numbers are about the same. also some people just have to have the latest and greatest even if it realy isn't any better and a real memory hog too
xp works fine with 256mb (more is always better) but will vista..? so IMHO you spend money for a new os and then you will spend MORE money to upgrade the ram just so it can run the same.. and it will not run all windows programs and hardware..? (i run some windows 95/98 programs on this xp and i didn't need to go and find some kind if patch to do it..! just load and go)
dell went with vista and stopped using xp & xp pro until thay started getting all the calls from people that didn't like it so two weeks ago thay started letting you have xp & xp pro again. the people have spoken
