Current adoption rates show that this package is not appealing. I don't know that anything more needs to be said... I think the biggest issue with Vista is that its not really something one upgrades too. Its too new for mass business adoption - they NEVER upgrade in the first year or two. Hell, some of them are still clinging to windows 2000. But new computers being sold to consumers, including gamers, are predominantly loaded with Vista. And that's all I really expect. As for the PC you built spec'd. Well...first my 1k to 2k was targeting -gamers- not people trying to scrimp together a PC that can run games. And simultaneously, not idiots who buy the bleeding edge. But people who choose parts because they are the best value, not necessarily the cheapest. |
Thats just it though, very few people actually want Vista...its being foisted on most by pre-installs and they'd rather use XP. Its forced upgrades and its only possible through the complete market dominance that MS has...outside of that they would be a sinking ship right now because their current product is a smelly turd. Most companies have problems when their flagship product is crap..but in MS's position they can use their financial presence to get Dell and the like to install it by default.
As for the PC, that is a hardcore gaming PC and it uses some very nice parts and despite any assertions otherwise is an extremely nice computer that I bet the vast majority of people on this site would be glad to have.
