I think it is interesting to see how Microsoft has had to change their policy regarding Windows XP. Initially when Vista was released there were indications XP was soon to be abandoned. Then Dell and HP complained their user base was still requesting XP. I run a dual boot XP/Fedora box and XP works fine. Upgrading to Vista would overtax my box due to the increase in system requirements. It is pretty much a no-brainer that until the box is really outdated I would have to stick with XP or build a new one. A lot of businesses appear to be in a similar situation and they don't have enough good reasons to upgrade to Vista. I don't know exactly what this all means but it definitely points to some sort of paradigm shift regarding Microsoft and their OS releases.
