There is no major value with Vista
With the short lifespan that vista will have between it's release and the release of Windows 7 most people and especially corporate bean counters are saying "why bother?".

The problem with a new OS adoption is that you have to install and test ALL of the applications in your enterprise. test that everything still works, run performance testing, run regression testing, & work flow testing.

Then you get to actually deploy a small number of machines in the enterprise and monitor the real world usage. After you have gone through this daunting process you can talk about upgrading enterprise wide.

No IT department of a company who's business and daily operations live and die by the reliability of their operating systems is going to blindly deploy a new OS without a solid plan.
