HP Says Microsoft is Inflating Vista Sales

Well that’s surely no wonder! Microsoft is inflating Vista Sales and HP declares publicly in an APC Magazine. As you remember, Microsoft XP got canceled officially more than a month ago with some computer sellers. XP comes now only with netbooks and UMPC officially.

And HP says it also comes pre-loaded on business PCs:

Jane Bradburn from HP Australia says:

From the 30th of June, we have no longer been able to ship a PC with a XP licence. However, what we have been able to do with Microsoft is ship PCs with a Vista Business license but with XP pre-loaded. That is still the majority of business computers we are selling today.

Well how about that? How many Vista did you actually sell Microsoft?
3?

Microsoft wants to cancel XP from January but HP’s officials are negotiating to push the deadline back. Apparently its business customers don’t want to go through the hassle of fully switching to Vista. But resistance is futile! Hasta la Vista!
