Windows Vista’s biggest worry is not Apple’s Mac or Red Hat Linux it’s Microsoft’s own Windows XP.

"The big story isn’t that 32% of the companies we surveyed said that they would start Vista deployments by the end of next year," says an analyst at Forrester Research Inc.

The survey was conducted on 600 U.S and European companies which have more than 1,000 employees. Then survey discovered that 84% of their Personal Computers run Windows XP and not Windows Vista. And in fact it’s up 26%. Last year only 67% of the PC’s used Windows XP.

There are many companies looking forward to Windows XP SP3 and at the same time there are companies waiting for the Windows Vista SP1 to happen before they upgrade. According to Microsoft the Windows XP SP3 will be the last service pack for Windows XP.
