US sales of computers carrying Microsoft's new operating system Vista soared in the week after it was launched, defying the expectations of analysts who gave Vista lackluster reviews. Personal computer sales for the week following Vista's debut to succeed Microsoft's Windows XP in January were 67 percent higher than those in the same week in 2006, and nearly triple those of the preceding week, according to Current Analysis.

Hence the reason I sing "don't believe the hype" - if you're making a decision to buy something off the back of what everyone else is buying, you're doomed to purchase something you don't need and doesn't address what you want it to.
Use what you think does the just, and to hell what anyone else is running.

No doom and gloom, just cynicism. It's hard to tout great sales of your new products when everyone will eventually have to buy your product anyway.
