April 20, 2007 11:49 AM PDT Vista's not doing THAT bad Posted by Ina Fried Microsoft can only try and put a good face on some of the news on the Vista front, such as Dell's decision to bring back XP, for example. There's only so much you can say to make that sound good. But, Microsoft says that a report that it sold only 244 copies of Vista in China in the first two weeks is just plain wrong, the Softies say. "Recent speculation regarding sales data in China is inaccurate," Microsoft said in response to an inquiry from CNET News.com. "We're pleased with the positive consumer response we've seen around the globe to the security and usability enhancements in Windows Vista--and China is no exception." Microsoft wouldn't totally clear things up by saying just how many copies it has sold in China, but it did say the first month's sales of boxed Vista copies in China were double those XP had in its first month.
