Story: Windows XP outshines Vista in benchmarking test

Of course Vista sales will show increase

Well, if companies sell it with new PCs then of course it will show an increase.

However,

The $64m question is how many of those PCs are rolled out with Vista still on them. I know of a lot of people who got a new PC with Vista on it and after an average of 2 weeks (or 24 hours in my own case), removed Vista and reinstalled XP.

Lets Vista is bad, and was a bad release in the first place (How many versions are there now). XP has problems, but at least it works (well sometimes it does) and most software is written to run on it.

Vista will always struggle because of bad press and not least because most IT departments just don't trust it -- ourselves included.

So if you upgrade to XP SP3 you can't uninstall Internet Explorer, I'm quite sure I'm having a Deja-vu feeling about MS preventing people from uninstalling Internet Explorer in other Windows products.
