Microsoft Vista is actually selling?

According to Steve Ballmer, Vista is selling “incredibly well”.
“”Vista sells on almost 100 per cent of all the new consumer PCs around the world,” the Microsoft CEO proclaimed. He added that the operating system was also selling on, “45 percent of all of new business PCs”. Which is enlightening, since business users are about the ony buyers of new PCs that get a choice.”
After reading that nobody likes Microsoft’s most recent OS, Vista, this news is quite surprising. Personally, I have used Vista for over a year and have never had a problem with it. Not one crash. No hardware compatibility issues. No problems whatsoever.
XP was and still is a beautiful operating system. XP lacked one aspect thought, aesthetic value. Vista is an amazing piece of eye candy with awe-inspiring graphics.
The biggest complaint I hear about Vista is that it “hogs so much RAM”. This is because the graphics functions are stored in the kernel rather than in virtual memory, which eats up more RAM. Big deal, it looks pretty enough to part with an extra gig of RAM.

I absolutely love Vista. I think it is better than XP for two reasons: the Aero interface and the search indexing.
Yes, Aero does take up more RAM - but it is worth it. And having game graphics loaded into memory makes for extremely fast gaming.
