+Just a day after analyst firm Net Applications released figures showing that Windows Vista now [enjoys a 5 percent share][2] of the online market, Acer president Gianfranco Lanci criticized Microsoft's new OS saying, "the whole industry is disappointed with Windows Vista." 
+
+Despite the fact that if Vista's adoption trend continues, it should pass Mac OS X by the end of August Lanci is critical of the system.
+
+[According to PC World][1], Lanci's beef is not about market share but stability and other issues. Lanci says Vista is riddled with problems and gives users and businesses no reason to buy a new PC.
+
+Lanci also claims that Acer, the four largest manufacturer of PCs, has been inundated with customer requests for XP instead of Vista.  
+
+Lanci's beef with Vista will take on more significance come January 2008 which is when Microsoft says it will no longer offer Windows XP to resellers, which means users who want to stay on XP will need to pony up for an additional copy to replace a new machine's pre-installed copy of Vista.
