It really doesn't matter whether Microsoft Corp. gets Windows Vista out in January 2007 or March or even June, an analyst with JupiterResearch said Tuesday, since most businesses aren't champing at the bit to upgrade their OS.

About half of the 207 companies with more than 100 employees surveyed by JupiterResearch's Joe Wilcox said that they would either pass on Vista entirely, or if they did upgrade, that they wouldn't do so until at least 13 months after the new operating system was released. Amazingly, 13 percent of those polled had not even heard of Vista.
