Funny..it stares you in the face, but you fail to see.

Businesses who stayed with XP were counted as “Vista purchases” for every seat they added, even if it was for XP, since businesses are allowed to “downgrade” freely. Yes, the market was bigger now, but they also included those who did not change from XP to Vista as “Vista purchases” since they technically were.

Funny, you are still talking nonsense.
Consumers who walked into retail stores and bought Vista retail copies and new Vista PC’s did not turn round and go back to using XP, while at the same time paying Microsoft for Vista. In addition, retail PC sales(read consumers sales with Vista) shot up by a massive 173% when compared to the previous week and increased 67% year-over-year, when Vista was launched.
