Computer users don't rush to snap up 'Vista'
North American computer enthusiasts didn't surge to the stores to snap up new versions of Microsoft's Vista, the new operating system and first major upgrade in more than five years.
However, Microsoft said the software is available for the first time by download.
The system, which is the next-generation replacement for Windows XP, has been released in 70 countries. Microsoft also released a new version of Office, its flagship business software and Microsoft Exchange e-mail software.
