The simple fact is customers don't need Vista. Right now, there is little compelling reason for consumers to run out and buy Vista. Businesses have even fewer reasons.

Vista will be a success. But only because every new machine from mid year onwards will come with it preinstalled. The simple replacement cycle will make sure Vista sells.

The funny thing is the analyst, David Mitchell, actually admits this when saying why Office 2007 won't have the same take up rate: "You don't get the OEM drag effect. If you buy a new PC, you get a copy of Vista. You don't necessarily get a copy of Office."

The funny thing is that he's probably wrong there too.
