How can MS make such a record revenue growth when so many people and companies are holding off buying Vista?! That’s either a lot more computers sold with an OEM version installed by default or quite an increase in price.. not sure if the latter is a good sign.

I think more companies and individuals are buying Vista than most people think…

1.4 billion users

Assuming the usage rate is consistent around the world…
1.4 billion * 16.14% = 226 million Vista internet users

The only way the user base would be significantly less than this number is if for some reason, Vista users surf the internet WAY MORE than all other OS’s to skew the percentage up to 16.14%. I highly doubt this. And it’s probably more likely that that some Vista users don’t use the internet much because it’s for work mostly. Hence more likely there are more than 226 million Vista users.
