Enthusiasm is the theme of the day, from the flat panel screens on stage proclaiming "The 'Wow' Starts Now" to Steve Ballmer's opening remarks to the crowd, in which he notes that he is "too enthusiastic to sit".
His enthusiasm and optimism is evident as he discusses his expectations for Vista sales: He says that in the next 3 months, Microsoft expects to sell five times as many copies of Vista compared with the sales of Windows 95 in the same period after its launch. He said the company also expects to sell twice as many copies of Vista as it did as copies of Windows XP in that time.
