<p>"But that can't be the case here. Ballmer just recently predicted that Vista would sell five times as many copies as Windows 95 in the next three months. Pretty impressive considering that Windows 95 was Microsoft's best launch, ever. On top of that, they're going after Google with Windows Live and Office Live. Gee, Steve. Life must be good, right?"</p>

<p>Well the computer market is much bigger these days than it was 12 years ago. Could it be even.. errr.. five times bigger?</p>

<p>Actually Ballmer has admitted that <a href="http://www.businessweek.com/ap/financialnew<nobr>s<wbr></nobr> /D8NAEOPO0.htm>Vista sales expectations have been too high</a></p>

<p>AFAIK, Windows Live has not been doing very well either...</p>
