I have not heard much of Windows Vista since the initial hype some months ago. The general idea I have been left with, after talking with others, is that Vista has not really taken off. But apparently Vista is doing better than most people think.
Although no statistics are yet available of Vista sales. Some of Microsoft’s rewards can clearly be seen according to a post on Windows Now by Robert McLaws. As an example Microsoft has received 21% fewer support calls for Vista than during the same period for Windows XP.
Also if you like Macs and you didn’t catch Joy Of Tech‘s clever comic on Vista sales in a store, check my previous post here.

Most of the negative stuff floating around on the net was from xp users that were too stubborn to change, or linux users that still have not realized that open source consistently means lower quality. If anyone is afraid of how it will act on their machine borrow someone elses disk and dual boot with a demo install of home premium. Its a huge improvement over xp and argueably the prettiest os ever.
