Computer makers have been told
they'll no longer be able to get Windows XP OEM by the end of this year, despite strong ongoing demand for the OS. Analysts and computer makers are wondering if the move is premature given Vista's ongoing performance and compatibility issues. Dell recently said it would reintroduce XP on a range of machines due to customer demand but Microsoft will only allow this until the end of the year.

Well, let's start with that article.
The majority of users are not planning to upgrade.
There is so much wrong with that. First, the number of people that would even consider an upgrade would most definitely not be any sort of majority of users.
Second, who exactly did they poll and how did they translate that into a majority of users?
Third, I myself wouldn't even recommend buying an upgrade as XP works pretty darn well (especially if you know what to avoid and how to keep your system running nicely) and there just isn't much of a point in spending money on it.
Keep in mind I'm typing this on my AthlonXP system running my free copy of Vista.
