Hmm, do not think so. Corporates are the least risk taking sector. Normal shops may continue usin apps and Win 98 evenafter vista. But for corporates, support matters and if MS stop support on 2008, they can't continue on XP. Thats one point. And when MS stop support on XP, new softwares/drivers etc etc will do the same eventually. So its like kinda forcing. (not for people comfortable with XP and apps on that and do not plan to use something new in the near future)

Agree 100% !!
But this is not just the case of OS. Happens for s/w, h/w and all IT products. The
Official iPhone thread is a classic example. Not even a single person participated in that thread used / never even saw iPhone in real but made their decisions based on biased reviews

LOL
Happens everywhere. Especially when people post biased links / blogs / discussions.
