I host machines by the need of what we are creating, generally linux, sometimes Mac, sun, and yeah why not windows. Unfortunately most of our developers really dont like change – heck, getting to XP was difficult enough.

I really don’t like no support FUD these days, or the inability to get anything reasonable pre-loaded (but preloaded machines is another gripe).

Quite a bit of the software I load has not been officially released for VISTA, so I feel our users will follow the last of our suppliers (somewhere).

The onlything compelling about Vista these days is the lift to XP memory restrictions. And god knows, apps consume what they will.

Vista sales are only at the level they are due to it being bundled by the big boys (it generates lots or £2.00 / min phone calls).
Our sales pattern which includes retail & business is 1 in 8 takes Vista. We have a surplus of removed Vista licences, removed from laptops mainly, as customers choose XP or Linux.

Of our own build PC’s since Feb 2007 We have sold one Vista machine, the rest being XP or Linux.
