This is the manufacturer's fault, not Microsoft's (unless they didn't say what they were for, which I highly doubt). Just because the Vista Ready stickers were slapped on the wrong things doesn't mean it was a bad idea.

That I must disagree with, but we are OT, so we should think about wrapping this up soon.
In fact, could a moderator please move these posts so we may continue our discussion?

Yes, I did see that. And yes, Microsoft does have a majority market share. But what's the harm in that? The real harm is how Microsoft is retaining control over the music and software and a few other things I forgot. It's all part of a business's self-feeding nature. Google will learn from Microsoft's mistakes (I hope) and be more open, but
Google and Microsoft are both making the most money the best way they can. Microsoft only chose a wrong strategy.
