Two editorials on Vista, from eWeek and Microsoft Watch. The former: "The looming choice for Windows users is either to stick with Windows XP (and older hardware) or take Windows Vista cold turkey. But Microsoft doesn't have to be so tough - Apple did it differently with the Mac OS X rollout." The latter: "How will Microsoft - and its business customers - cost-justify upgrading to Vista in the coming months/years? With Windows Vista, Microsoft needs to please at least two constituencies with very different sets of requirements."

The reality is this. By the Spring of 2007, 97% of new PC's bought for consumers will have Vista on them.
How many of those will perform *well* with Vista is another question.
Almost all new PC's for business will be sold with a Vista license with downgrade rights to XP if that is what is deployed in the business.
I hope so, I can see a lot of people taking advantage of the ability to downgrade. Not to mention the SMB's which won't be buying new computers at all.
