No ROI for migrating
For those who already have Windows XP, forcibly migrating to Vista is not cost effective. We are still installing Windows XP on all desktops and laptops provided to our user community, regardless of whether or not Vista was present. The reason is simple: our desktop environment is STABLE and reliability is GREAT. We don't have to retrain users on ANYTHING.

I don't understand why so many people hold up the argument that Vista is BETTER, so what? We don't buy the top-of-the-line hardware, we buy what is most economical and gets the job done. Anything else is overkill. The same is true for software, and that puts Vista out in the cold for us.
