Microsoft's Vista goes on sale |
Vista went on sale in 70 countries Tuesday, along with new versions of
Microsoft Exchange e-mail software and the flagship Office business
suite, which includes Word, Excel and PowerPoint. Several retailers
even held midnight openings.
But unlike the recent launches of next-generation game machines like
Sony Corp.'s PlayStation 3, customers haven't been camping out for days.
"When I look at Windows Vista, I see a technology that is interesting,
that is relevant, but to some extent is evolutionary," said Al Gillen,
an analyst at the technology research group IDC. "I do not believe it
will create a lot of motivation for people to rush out and get a new
operating system."
