There`s also no upgrade from WinXP to Windows 7. You have to do a clean install.

That's worrisome...

I hadn't read that. Do you have a link to a reference? If that's the case, a lot of IT departments are going to be feeling some serious pain in the coming months.

I know alot of corporations still use XP simply because Vista is deemed 'not ready for prime time' and many software packages don't support Vista.

None of the corporations I know of have made the switch to Vista in any significant way. There just weren't enough "wins" built into the switch, and there were so very many problems with compatibility, both in terms of software and hardware, that the pain and expense of migration couldn't be justified.

"Big IT", in terms of companies with hundreds, and in many cases, thousands, of deployed desktops has to be extremely careful about OS migration. The way Vista was rolled out, it's become clear that MS has lost touch with their biggest cashcow - the corporate user.

Caveat IMHO
