It would depend on how much it would cost businesses to shift their computing needs to Vista. As of now there are a lot of applications that just do not work on Vista. There are also a lot of companies, particularly in a downturn in the economy who choose not to upgrade their computers to have the power to even run Vista at all while these same companies are already running XP very satisfactorily. Why go to all the trouble of changing to something when you are doing well with what you have and you have a lot of other places in the companies that need money more. Makes no sense from a company standpoint to do that. And if Windows does stop with the XP and the companies find another way to keep it working securely and well, then screw Vista - stick with XP even if you have to run it with Wine or some other way.
The days when a company will change all the computers at once are over for now and unless they are all changed then Vista would be a bad choice for a company to make.
