FUD caused it
The FUD created by the open source community and anti-MSers created enough scare to stop many businesses from moving.

To name a few:
- Your legacy applications wont work
- You will have driver nightmares
- You will be prompted to allow or disallow every little thing (Many businesses already used Cisco Security Agent which does the exact same thing)
- You need beefy computers to run Vista

All false or easily worked around
