Bill Gates In Denial Over Vista Failure to Penetrate Market
Microsoft, vistaBill Gates made a statement at the Consumer Electronics Show that Vista was no flop with an estimated 140 million copies sold. 140 million is a lot, but he also admitted struggling with the public's dissatisfaction with the sequel to the popular XP, released 7 years ago (I have never met anyone who completely likes Vista).
This reflects a perfect example of how PC Fanboys make fun of Mac Fanboys for blindly following Steve Jobs when their own holy leader can't admit to making a bloated OS when it slaps him in the face. Seriously, if you have to make a statement at an electronics show reassuring investors that your biggest investment and money maker is not really a flop like everyone is saying, it's a flop.
Market Share is keeping Microsoft afloat. If I were me I would be selling all the MSFT in the world and switching to a tech company who releases products that are wildly popular for their performance and continues to release products that wow consumers. What has Microsoft done in the last couple years that has been amazing or ground breaking?
If it wasn't for Microsoft's alliance with so many computer building companies to provide Vista would 140 million copies have sold? Why did Dell continue to offer XP with their computers? If Vista is so good (it should be, XP is 7 years old) then why would it even be an option?
I'm sceptical of these so called successes. I smell a ploy to bolster MSFT stock.
