Microsoft admits Vista failure? (Score 1)

While the Slashdot summary was correct, the writer of the article itself was not so particular with the facts. The headline reads 'Microsoft admits Vista failure', yet the article contains no quote from Microsoft to this effect (or any quote at all for that matter). So where is the admittance to back up the headline? The article goes on to state: 'It [who I presume is Microsoft, given the context of the opening paragraph] did two unprecedented things this week that frankly stunned us.' The problem here is that the first 'thing' is Dell's announcement that it would be offering XP again on home PCs. How does a business decision by Dell equate with an admittance of Vista's failure by Microsoft? Okay so maybe I'm being pedantic, but surely accuracy in reporting as opposed to misrepresentation, even in an unbalanced opinion piece like this one, is not too hard an ask?
