Yeah, Lucio, though I guess what I was saying is that sooner or later, most systems get upgraded. Of course, there are exceptions. Someone referred to still running W2K, and on a couple of machines, so do I. It's old hardware that would struggle and gasp just to run Vista, if it would even start. And they're machines for specific purposes that work just fine with W2K, so I see no benefit in upgrading. But, of course, they're far from a common case.

Most people, certainly individuals, with a machine or two will, in my view, end up on Vista sooner or later (assuming they're not Penguin fans, of course .... though most non-tech or enthusiast users wouldn't recognise Linux if they tripped over it). But the average home user will go to Vista, even if it's only because when they pop down to PC World for their next PC upgrade, that's what they find it's got on it when they get it home.
