What is the only OS out there to outsell Windows Vista every single year - you guessed it, Windows XP.

Nice find.
And XP will continue to be the OS of choice until Microsoft can convince corporate customers that there really is a good reason to upgrade.
As of today, there isn't!
Massive retraining of the user base, massive hardware upgrades; all are scary things for corporate IT Depts.
I know we won't be making any switches until there's a firm reason to do so.
