"I don't think any serious company will be upgrading to this OS for many years"

Yeah?
You'd be wrong then wouldn't ya?
Read this, from the consumer Vista launch yesterday. Remember, Vista for business has been out 2 months already:

"Microsoft's Ballmer: Vista enterprise demand "very well"

Sales of Microsoft Corp.'s new Vista operating system software are going "very well" after about two months, Chief Executive Steve Ballmer said on Monday, adding that personal computer demand may be boosted by Vista.

Asked by Reuters how sales of Vista, the first major upgrade of its dominant operating system in five years, Ballmer said: "So far, very well. So far I would say the reaction has been incredibly positive."

In fact, contrary to your wishful thinking, it would appear Vista sales for business enterprises have been going rather well, right from the get go.
What more ya got?

Sales may be going very well, but you don't demonstrate it. Give some numbers. What do you expect Balmer to say, "sales are very poor. Sorry there's so much hype?"
