Microsoft denied that the policy change was due to slow demand for Vista. Mr Nash said that up to the summer of 2007 Microsoft had sold more than 60 million licences for Vista. This put it on track to be the fastest selling operating system in Microsoft's history.
The only reason that they managed all those licences was because they gave the consumer NO CHOICE when they bought a new PC or laptop, and at the end of the day they will still be on a winner as any new programs brought out for Windows will only now work on the Vista
