<p style="text-align:center;"><a href="http://blog.seattlepi.nwsource.com/microsoft/archives/130626.asp"><img src='http://globalnerdy.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2008/01/we_remove_vista.jpg' alt='Sign in a Seattle computer store window: “We remove Vista / We install XP”' width="400" height="368" /></a></p>
<p><a href="http://blog.seattlepi.nwsource.com/microsoft/archives/130626.asp"><strong>Here&#8217;s the relevant excerpt from Todd Bishop&#8217;s Microsoft Blog:<br />
</strong></a></p>
<blockquote><p>
Shop manager Aaron Kaplan said they were prompted to put it up because so many people were having problems with Windows Vista, including compatibility issues with older software and trouble adjusting to the interface.</p>
<p>&#8220;A lot of people didn&#8217;t like using Vista, and a lot of the manufacturers forced people to go up to Vista,&#8221; he said.</p>
<p>What was the demand for the service? &#8220;We had a lot of people coming in and asking about it,&#8221; Kaplan said. &#8220;Of all the signs we put up there the last two years, at least, we probably got the most response out of that one. A lot of people coming in.&#8221;</p>
<p>Kaplan said they&#8217;ve since replaced it with a different message, but they&#8217;re thinking about putting the Vista removal message back up.
