40 million shipped with new pcs more like

Given that most box shifters have been putting Vista on, this figure is not really that impressive.

M$ must have a figure that would be interesting though... Stats from their WGA, which would show how many of those 40million copies are actually being used, and not been replaced with XP. I know of quite a few just in my office which arrived with Vista, and were promptly reformatted to XP from out site licence pack.
