Ummm, I don't know what corporations your looking at but almost everyone I've stumbled across is (slowly) migrating to Windows XP. The stability improvements alone are worth the upgrade compared to the POS WinNT/98 codebase. Then there's the fact that, in a large corporate enviroment, RDP is EXTREMELY helpful. Every tried to tech support a computer located around the world? Yea, phones suck for that.

I'm honestly looking forward to Longhorn and I'm not going to make any judgements till its released. For all those who say its a blatant ripoff in look from OS X, well Apple has blatantly ripped off other OS's and technologies before, every large corporation does it at some time. Whats even funnier though is that Slate isn't the final look for the UI of Longhorn. Aero is, and its not out. It was only demo'd.
