Balmer blames piracy for poor vista sales.

I found this display this afternoon at the Office depot. The lower shelf are all upgrade discs, but upper are full installs. If someone out there can explain to me how the average user, presented with this display, could/would make a decision to buy ANY of these... I'd love to hear it.

If I was Joe Schmoe and I've heard good things about vista and I'm thinking about upgrading, this display alone would make me decide to NOT upgrade. The huge price range, all the different versions, and in the end the HUGE price tag of the "best" version... it's too confusing and just not compelling enough for me to open my wallet.

Here's 6 good reasons not to buy vista!
