Only about 13% of the enterprise world has gone to, or has some portion, of vista users on their network. That leaves 77% of users that are not using vista, and Microsoft has like a 80% market share. So, there are still tons more XP users out there.

So, really its not that a lot of people are upgrading to vista and then downgrading back to XP, they are just not even switching to vista yet.

What I meant really is people who have bought a new computer that came with Vista and didn't like it and gone back to using Windows XP on their new computer. A Dell rep told me that it was just the competition ( Apple) bashing the Vista operating system and to not pay attention to it.
