Because of poor backward compaibilty many companies have to keep machines running older operating systems - we even keep a DOS machine for some stuff we no longer connect it to the network but it still comes out once or twice a year. Many companies will shy away from Vista it has too many facilities for simple machines and is very slow to boot compared with XP or 2000 I can only find disadvantages in Vista. No I have not skipped it but like many will try and leapfrog it. Microsoft still think of the PC for the office they forget the many applications that PC cary out in all sorts of business sectors, now the idea of a cut down operating system is very appealing!
