Actually, you could go a bit further than that. A lot of businesses are only now looking at switching from Windows 2000 over to XP. Bigger firms tend to be very conservative, for the very good reason that mistakes and bugs in an OS cost them big dollars. It will be a long time before Vista gains much space on the corporate desktop: lots of downside to it, no upside.
Up in the big end of town, the motto is usually "never buy a Microsoft product before Service Pack 2 comes out". That's an excellent working rule-of-thumb.
