In his view at that time they sold to 19.4 m. of PCs with the sticker "Vista Capable" who didn't meet requirements of the system (13.75 m. from this number portable computers, but 5.65 m determined - stationary). The economist thinks, that total cost of the update of sub-assemblies of these computers so that successfully they deal advanced Vista versions with, he is located in a period 3.92 - 8.52 of billions of dollars.
