Not a factor in deployment plans
Most of my customers are still on XP and Office2003. It will take more than lipstick and sharepoint to get them to move, even with new hardware to replace the old. They don't see the value proposition for anyone except Microsoft shareholders.

I don't completely understand the "fear" of Office2007 but it's out there. And Vista is not embraced at all. It's too bad, Office2007 is really nice and I use it for my work, but I have to remember to save everything in older formats for my customers. Vista doesn't seem to have a killer app that makes it a must have and it does not appear to solve anyone's problems so it's viewed as a needless option.
