Ars is contradicting the 60% claim made earlier today, stating: "Reportedly, the Media Center code in the OS is in shambles, and needs to be saved by the Xbox code team. Curiosity piqued, I contacted my usual sources. In short, the story is an extreme exaggeration. I suppose this much is obvious from the mere fact that what was once a late November shipping date has now moved to January 2007: would the revelation that more than half of the code is in need of repair only translate into a two month delay? Of course not. I suppose the cynic could still invest in this rumor by arguing that the delay will stretch into 2007, but that has yet to be seen, and it really amounts to FUD at this point."

nope... remember I have been a Vista beta tester since the beginning, and there is marked performance degradation. The security model is nowhere near as strong as *nix, It is about on par with XP SP2.
And as you say, it is not released yet. So the majority of people who have not tried it, should have no idea why they want to upgrade. Other than the fact that they think newer is automatically better.
but then, people are sheep, camera makers are currently pushing 7m pixel cameras when 4m pixel are more than adequate for everyones day to day use. We do not all make A1 posters !
