Vista is a step forward in security, but many businesses will be stuck with Windows XP for years to come, due to the cost of upgrading, the value of existing assets, and compatibility issues that trump security features.

As more applications are programmed to work with it on Vista, they'll work well when run as a Restricted User (i.e., a member of the Users group only) on XP. This means that admins who have been fighting desktop support battles for years because their users run as admins can start migrating them down to standard users as software compatibility with Vista improves -- regardless of if your users are on Vista or XP.
