This is nothing more than alarmist filler news, just like "the planes will fall from the sky on January 1st 2000".

Even if the prediction that Windows Vista could in someway impact Internet congestion were true, it would be completely negligible - requiring everyone to drop XP and trade up to Vista by the masses for the effect to be seen at all. Which based on previous adoption rates for new versions seems highly unlikely.
