This smells like a troll. Don't feed the trolls.

The experiment of Vista is not working. More to follow.

Yawn. Nothing to see here, keep moving please.

Karl - how about at least an URL to that article? I've seen reports of
an $80 price drop on Vista Ultimate and $20 drop on Vista Home Premium
here in Canada but NOTHING approaching a 50%+ drop anywhere.

Damn, can't even follow my own advice.
