Look at past history. A good number of business users upgraded to XP

Look at past history ?
Computers have a pretty short history.
Looking at one previous event would hardly establish an accurate
correlation.
If you go to Indiana, and its raining...you conclude it rains every day

Were the last few sentences of gibberish suppose to be your argument?
Not surprised, that's about as good as I've ever seen you argue. The
fact is fanboys have constantly shown they CAN'T argue points. They
always wander off trying to change topics and base their unabashed
praise of Vista on something stupid like Joe Blow says he likes Vista
so oh, it must be ok, so I better like it too. Heard mentality in
action.


Most businesses don't replace their eqipment for the hell of it.
A business with a fleet of 2006 Chevy Silverado's don't *** can
them all and buy 2008 Silverado's just cause they came out.
All your quote really says is that 84% of businesses are happy with
their current computers/OS...or they are facing economic conditions
that don't justify changing.

It seems the vast majority of business users aren't buying Microsoft's
marketing hype. You fanboys always try to play it both ways. If Vista
was the wonderful OS you claim, then everyone would be beating down
the doors to install it to take advance of all it's "new" features and
improvements. Isn't happening. What is happening is many are demanding
XP's availability be extended because they have read all the horror
stores about Vista and don't want anything to do with it.

The majority of businesses are going thru economic uncertainty.
That is the primary reason for staying put.

Oh, now you are some economics professor. The world has going through
uncertain periods before. If something truly new and better comes
along IF some business feels it would help productivity or efficiency
or security even they would still consider upgrading. The fact most
haven't suggests they've looked at Vista and see no reason to get it.
Vista is closer to a XP upgrade with a new paint job. Yes, I agree,
Vista is sleeker, prettier, cuter, pick your favorite adjective. Under
the hood many find it lacking and more clumsy. The big feature
so-called improved "security" is mostly marketing hype and has been
reported elsewhere that too as anyone in the know would have told you
would sooner or later be compromised, now it apparently has been.
