As a Systems Engineer who gets to peek at and work within the IT environments of some of the big names in the Fortune 500, I don't see a lot of XP or Vista in the enterprise. Only on laptops used to VPN in remotely for sysadmin work. It is almost exclusively Win2k3. Some Win2k. And that ain't gonna change too dang quick. And certainly not on Microsoft's timetable.
Personally, I'm hanging on to XP SP3 until I can get my hands on Win2k8 Server. It has Hyper-V native and that bad boy ROCKS! It's so easy to use...when Win2k8 is deployed widely and Hyper-V catches on...VMWare is going to be in serious doo-doo.

I hope you have a lot of extra processing power for the thin-client model. If you have a Gainstown based system, please do list the the specs. (Sysadmin porn)
