According to this article the current M$ reports of Vista sales are
inflated because:
Business PC buyers are still overwhelmingly opting for XP, computer giant
HP has revealed.
HP's revelation, made at the launch of a new range of business notebooks,
flies in the face of Microsoft's persistent PR claims that Vista has sold
tens of millions of copies and is selling at a faster rate than XP ever
did.
"From the 30th of June, we have no longer been able to ship a PC with a XP
licence," said Jane Bradburn, Market Development Manager, Commercial
Notebooks for HP Australia.
"However, what we have been able to do with Microsoft is ship PCs with a
Vista Business licence but with XP pre-loaded. That is still the majority
of business computers we are selling today."
