"In effect, an XP sale will be counted as a Vista sale. How clever."

Actually it's how the program has always worked. The customers GETS Windows Vista, but also gets downgrade license rights to go to the previous OS. They are paying for 1 client license, and are only licensed to use 1 installation of Windows, so that means they're not permitted to dual-boot XP & Vista. In actuality, if they utilize their downgrade rights, they aren't allowed to use Vista at all, until they remove Windows XP and upgrade back to the current version. Downgrade licensing is only available for business client OS versions though (ie. Vista Business or Ultimate - Vista Enterprise customers already get that option because it's part of Software Assurance, which is the same program that gives them Enterprise).

"My guess is that Vista continues to outpace XP and that the gap will only grow later in the 2008. But that's just a guess."

Well, of course, because the XP tap gets shut off on June 30. But even then, vendors like DELL will be installing XP under the "downgrade" program. In effect, an XP sale will be counted as a Vista sale. How clever.

Calculating the true popularity of Vista is like the old commercial that asked "how many licks does it take to get to the center of a Tootsie Pop?" Indeed, the world may never know.
