SAN FRANCISCO (AFP) - US sales of computers carrying Microsoft's new operating system Vista soared in the week after it was launched, defying the expectations of analysts who gave Vista lackluster reviews.

Personal computer sales for the week following Vista's debut to succeed Microsoft's Windows XP in January were 67 percent higher than those in the same week in 2006, and nearly triple those of the preceding week, according to Current Analysis Inc.

"I didn't expect to see such aggressive growth right off the line," Current Analysis research director Samir Bhavnani told AFP. "If you are Microsoft, you have to be pleased with these results."

Adding to the achievement was the fact that computer sales are usually sluggish during the end of January and the beginning of February.

"This bodes well for Vista," Bhavnani said, cautioning that a more reliable picture would be shown by PC sales figures in the coming six months.

"The early returns are showing the messaging Microsoft is doing is resonating with customers."

As Microsoft executives predicted, the majority of people opting for Vista bought the higher-priced Home Premium version and only 22 percent went for the more economical, scaled-down Basic edition.

Slightly more than half of the Vista-based personal computers sold for the week ending February 3 were made by Hewlett-Packard.

Microsoft spent five years and six billion dollars creating Vista as the successor to its Windows XP operating system.

The Redmond, Washington, software powerhouse has touted Vista worldwide as its most secure and thoroughly-tested operating system release.

The release was repeatedly delayed, prompting computer pricing deals and discounts to appeal to customers in the notoriously slow sales period following the year-end holiday shopping season.

Critics maintain that Vista's complexity forces aspiring users to upgrade computers to meet memory and graphics demands. Computer game developers have complained Vista's security features can block or break their software.

Longtime Microsoft followers advised people to put off upgrading to Vista until flaws and kinks are exposed and fixed, as has been the historical pattern with the company's previous operating systems.

Approximately 95 percent of the 900 million computers in the world run on Windows operating systems.

"When you are number one, you take a lot of heat," Bhavnani said of the criticism heaped on Microsoft concerning Vista. "Microsoft will always put a good product out there on the field.
