New data: 1 in 3 business PCs drop Vista for Windows XP

When Microsoft stopped selling new licenses to Windows XP on June 30, it gave users and PC makers a "downgrade" loophole so that those who wanted XP could still get it, even though they still had to buy a Vista license.

Interesting.

I guess as a business stand point they should not be forced to have some computers Vista and others XP.

On the other hand using Vista if it runs everything you need it to should be used since it is more secure and runs better!
