Oprah, not just for books
This warms both sides of my heart, commerce and publishing, Vista's Product Manager, David Block is quoted at C-NET --
"Can we get a cool new PC in front of Oprah?...Can we do stuff like that? I think we can."
They sure hope so, check out these sales projections, also quoted from the C-NET article
Microsoft says it expects more than 400 million PCs to be running Vista within 24 months of the launch. Block said the goal is to reach a rate within that time where more than half of the machines are running some premium version of the OS.
MS is planning to ship six versions of Vista. Six Vistas, I guess you'd say.
Wow, I hope it's just confusing enough that everyone needs a book.
And maybe Oprah can help Microsoft clarify their message.
