Within a year or so, most corporations will have migrated to Windows Vista and .net 3.0
Make that 2-3 years.
and within a couple of years most Windows software will be written for Windows Vista only.
And make that 5-6 years.
Upgrading systems across a large company is a huge and costly project. And it's not really done unless there's really a need to, such as if an important application needs it.
When going from Win98 to WinXP there was huge benefits from doing that. WinXP->Vista just doesn't offer as much. Not that they won't upgrade, but I'm guessing most companies aren't in a hurry, and they'll be waiting for the first service pack before even considering.
