Consumers Choose Vista over XP…. NOT!

Ars Technica, usually a good resource for information ran this bonehead article today about how, despite the bad press, consumers are choosing Vista over XP.

Fact: Most (if not all) in-store computers are pre-installed with Windows Vista

Fact: Most standard consumers don't build their own computers

Therefore, if a normal person goes to a store to buy a computer, and all of their options are Windows Vista, Windows Vista, or, gosh maybe I'll take, Windows Vista, it follows that they'll "choose" Windows Vista. Dur…

Last I checked, lack of options doesn't mean that they made any choice at all. Besides, most normal computer users would automatically assume that the newest version of an operating system is the best option because they normally are. Unless they've studied the news and/or read site like this one, they wouldn't know to steer clear.

So… My point is that the Ars article says absolutely nothing of value. Even if it were true that people were "choosing" Vista, it wouldn't mean anything.
