For the many private and business users who have all their apps and hardware working (pretty much) as they want under Win Xp, there really is very little (if any) advantage to migrating to Vista. Quite the contrary, if the application(s) and hardware is not supported with Vista.
For any individual or organisation to take on the cost and pain of migrating, there needs to be a perceived advantage to doing so. The organisation I work for (large, global) has yet to find it, and I as an individual am in a similar position.
I wouldn't describe Vista as a
, but I simply don't see the need for it - other than to use up spare CPU cycles!
