It will be one year that Windows Vista has been available to businesses on Nov. 30, yet many companies still are waiting until the release of Vista's first service pack to upgrade. But with Microsoft planning to release the next version of Windows, code-named Windows 7, in late 2009 or 2010, there remains a strong possibility that companies might skip over Vista altogether in favor of the next release of Windows.

Aren't they going to wait for SP1 or SP2 for Windows 7? Wouldn't that add 1-2 years to after Windows 7 is released?

Going to be difficult to skip Vista when MS stops selling XP.

Windows 7 is going to have more of the same complaints that both XP and Vista had upon release, in any case.
