Finally, some good news for Microsoft

These figures will sure be music to all ears at Redmond HQ, though i'd be a little skeptical as to the reasons why so many businesses would want switch to Vista now.
If you are a business and weigh up the benefits, you'd notice how little there are; is it more secure than XP? maybe but what about compatibility issues that still exist? what about hardware upgrades necessary for migrating to Vista?

Having considered that, would it still make financial sense to upgrade now? keep in mind there's nothing wrong with XP.

My guess is; most of these numbers are representative of new intallations.
