Vista piracy?

[unixronin]

"Microsoft says Vista's piracy rate is half that of XP."  Duh!  They had to let vendors keep offering XP on new computers because so many people didn't want Vista.  Who's gonna steal it?

Actually, it reminds me of a cartoon in the back of New Scientist some 30 years ago.  It concerned a fictional company that produced "NuFoods" with names like Chisp and Cheem, made from ... well, let's not go there.  The dialogue went something like this:

"Some vendors are actually displaying NuFoods at the front of the store in preference to their own brands."

"They're selling well, then?"

"... Actually, they're hoping people will shoplift them."

The 3-series I have comes with 17" rims. The latest evolution of the car comes with 18" rims standard with an option for 19". Ugh.
