Funny thing, I saw that same blog that said 25%, not 1/3.

Also, on this page...

http://www.pcworld.com/article/id,13...1/article.html

There is this statement...

"A study by Forrester Research shows that 52% of respondents have no
plans to roll out Vista or don't know when they might do it. The study
shows 11% don't plan to start a roll out until 2009 and another 6% are
waiting until 2010."

I was looking around for 'studies' to contradict the first mentioned,
then ran across this one.

Apparently Forrester Research will say anything you want as long as you
are paying for the study.
