To believe that Vista won't be accepted by business because of present scenerios is like predicting an earthquake based on peoples opinions. Sure people aren't happen right now, same people who weren't happy with XP probably, but time will change that, it's inevitable. Unless the next Windows version is ready and better than Vista (not likely), Vista will be the eventual mainstream OS. For developers to not be getting ready for it is just plain "Dumb". It's like the hardware companies not building drivers for Vista yet, when did they think they should start? A huge part of the disatisfaction with Vista is the drivers (not really MS's fault). When XP is no longer available, what did Business think they were going to do? They will tell IT, buy Vista (and buy hardware that has good drivers), then buy apps that were developed for Vista. Then these fools will be scrambling to put something together, and when they have problems with it (didn't put the time in to do it right), then they will blame Vista. MS has broad shoulders and will be the whipping boy, but eventually it will become obvious, these people din't think ahead and plan accordingly. As I said "DUMB"
