Story: Microsoft in high spirits about Vista adoption

We are being force-fed Vista

I don't know whether the guys from Microsoft have read all the stories concerning Vista, otherwise they wouldn't attribute Vista's success to consumer desire.
Its been a year since manufacturers stopped shipping brand new computers with Windows XP pre-installed, am not sure whether this is forced onto them by Microsoft but had they made it optional for consumers to choose between Vista and XP upon buying a new PC, the numbers wouldn't be so favourable.

To say that workers will demand Vista in the office just because they've used it at home is wishfull thinking; in terms of user experience, there's little difference between the XP and Vista.
If i were a business, i'd hold out for atleast 2 more years!
