XP vs. Vista based on sales

I just saw an article about the urge to keep XP and not switch to a
Vista-only world. One point made is that people are buying Vista more than
XP. My question is about that validity of this statement. Last time I went
shopping for a computer, I noticed it is hard to buy a computer from a store
without Vista. More people may be buying Vista because that is what they are
sold. It may have nothing to do with preference. I have XP because I made
sure I the system came with it. My girlfriend and mother have Vista because
it was the only option they had. Do not use the fact that we buy Visat since
it is our only option at times with trying to say we enjoy Vista. It is
pretty, but also extremely frustrating at times.

That is all part of Ballmer's game. He loves to say how many copies of
Vista have sold whenever someone points out all the issues with Vista -
class action, petition to keep selling XP, performance issues etc - he won't
answer their question - just talks about how many copies they are selling.
He also ignores how many people who buy Vista upgrade to XP.

What does any of this have to do with Media Center?
