140 million copies of the operating system were sold.

Can these numbers be trusted? How many new computers sold were reverted back to XP, upgraded to MAC OS, or Linux? These numbers can be adjusted to fit M$ needs, and are not etched in stone. Security wise, a major security firm has found that vista is not more secure than XP, yet M$ continues to fault the report, probably because it wasn't done by them. I would believe a third party's findings before anything M$ says.
