Hapless Vista Turns 6, Shuffles Toward Obscurity

According to most past users, Vista can't pass into obscurity fast enough to satisfy them. Rivaled only by the monumental flop of its not-ready-for-prime-time cousin, Millennium Edition. Microsoft, along with the majority of its users, have distanced themselves from Vista at warp speed. Since its 2009 peak, Vista has been shedding share, dropping 5.6 percentage points in 2010, 4.1 points in 2011 and 2.7 points in 2012.
