Ballmer Optimistic About Win 7, But Says Vista Is “Very Popular”

As you love , I sit down with Microsoft CEOSteve Ballmerto chat about all of his undertaking this year . Windows 7was obviously the biggie , so we talked about it and its less beloved herald .

But unlike Bill Gates , whoseemed like he wanted to admit Vista sucked , Ballmer sticks to his guns , calling it “ very popular . ” He says :

It ’s much discuss but much used . Hundreds of billion of masses are usingWindows panorama … [Vista ] has better between service packs , compatibility upgrade that software vendors have done . Actually , the market surround for Vista is not anything like it was when it establish .

He contends that ( pitiable ) personal computer gross sales are “ far more a function of the economy , in good order now ” than any merchandise , and uses that to extract his continued cautiousness about being too bullish on the Windows 7 launching .

taste as I might — and you’re able to believably tell I was adjudicate pretty severely — I could not get Ballmer to say or even suggest that Vista sucked . It ’s coolheaded , though . To his distributor point , although Windows 7 smoke it , Vista did get good . We are currently running Vista on a twosome of all stripped , brand - new Acer Timelines , and they ’re actually doing fine ( criticise on Ellen Price Wood ) . That had certainly not been the case when Iinterviewed Bill .
