Yup Ultimate is tops at Amazon.com

Vista Ultimate Upgrade is indeed the best selling Vista at amazon.com, coming in at 61st on the software best sellers list. Of course it is outsold by Better Homes and Gardens Landscaping and Deck Designer 7.0, and it is many many places behind both XP Home and XP Pro on the bestsellers list. But Ultimate it is the best selling retail version of Vista.

OTOH, try to buy a new PC without Vista, and you'll find one shining example: Mac. Pick up a copy of XP OEM to go with it if you must. Vista is selling to people who don't see a choice. It's still a monopoly in their minds.

Bill Gates and Steve Ballmer have lied hard and repeatedly about Vista, Zune, Xbox, and Windows Mobile. But the game is up for the bully boys. Customers finally aren't afraid to disagree.
