Sales of 7 have been good because Vista was such a disaster. MSFT should pray that 7 is truly better than Vista. Time will tell.

Vista actually sold faster than XP did. Only thing is, the PC market was much bigger when Vista came out than when XP came out. Of course lots of firms chose to stick with XP, which in turn is going to make XP to Win 7 upgrade sales pretty high, plus the super low $30 price for students is going to make win 7 an impulse buy and boost sales too.

I like Vista. Not a huge step up from XP in terms of features, but tons more reliable. I will wait to see how 7 goes over before I commit to an upgrade.
