On March 26, Microsoft released its internal sales figures for the first month of Windows Vista. Microsoft said it has sold in excess of 20 million Vista licenses in the first month of latest Windows client's general availability. That figure includes Vista licenses preloaded on new PCs, upgrades, copies sold through the Vista Express Upgrade program and full packaged prdouct sold at retail between January 30 and February 28. According to Microsoft, that is more than double the initial sales pace for Windows XP. | ||

| #1: Agreed. The computers that are being sold (which accounts for the vast majority of Vista sales whether users want Vista or not) are probably pretty solid products. |

#1 Very solid!
"Windows Vista's first 90 days was a huge security success when compared to the opening three months of Windows XP, the current Apple Mac OS X, and three flavours of Linux. Jeff Jones, the strategy director in Microsoft's security technology unit, tallied up vulnerabilities patched during the first 90 days of Vista, XP, Mac OS X 10.4, Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4 Workstation, Ubuntu 6.06 LTS, and Novell SuSE Linux Enterprise Desktop 10." "Vista has been hit by just one vulnerability since its introduction to enterprises at the end of November. The bug, which was in the anti-malware scanning engine used by the bundled-with-Vista Windows Defender, was patched last month." "By comparison, said Jones, in their first 90 days: Windows XP was nailed with 14 bugs, Mac OS X 10.4 (Tiger) with 20, Red Hat with 137, Ubuntu with 71, and SuSE with 80.
