Sales of boxed copies of Windows Vista continue to significantly trail those of Windows XP during its early days, according to a soon-to-be-released report. Standalone unit sales of Vista at U.S. retail stores were down 59.7 percent compared with Windows XP, during each product's first six months on store shelves, according to NPD Group. In terms of revenue, sales are also down, but the drop has been less steep, at 41.5 percent.

Anyway Vista has been disaster from early beta days, I still can't figure out why it was released in the first place. It is still an alpha/beta stage OS with huge number of wrong design decisions and critical bugs to be used for anything seriously.
I have had it installed since betas oon my pare drive and even with all the updates that made it so far into Vista it is still as bad as it was on RTM day.
From what I hear SP1 is on the same track.
