so in short if you upgrade to vista you have

a major upgrade spend in hardware and software, plus applications that need bringing up to date plus retraining

if you don't upgrade to vista you may have support issues with windows 7

so damned if you do and damned if you don't, it's money in Microsofts pocket either way

on the other hand if your OS is doing what you need why not stick with it and just not upgrade

or dare I say it get over the aversion to open source that most businesses seem to have, I can fins open source equivalents for 90% of the software I use, which is about the same compatability as I have with vista and I'm not a couple of hunderd plus pounds per seat worse off going open source either
