XP Still Beating Vista at the Register Stephen Fung February 16, 2007 Extras Despite the big hoopla surrounding Vista, it’s older brother XP is still handily beating it when it comes to closing the deal… The market research firm’s data showed the number of copies of Vista purchased was nearly 59 percent less than the number for its predecessor XP, looking at the first week of sales. Revenue was also down, but less dramatically, with the dollar value of first-week Vista sales off 32 percent from that seen with XP. Source: ZD Net Share This With The World!
