a. Very few. b. No good ones at this time excepting the need for development, testing, etc.

This isn't really a question about Business Documents, Copyright Law, Contracts, Non-Compete issues though ... but the subject clearly indicates this is a question about operating systems in the enterprise :\

Like medialint said, not many. Most large companies do not immediately switch over to an upgrade until it's proven tested in the real world. It's very costly to upgrade only to find that one multibillion dollar critical application doesn't work properly.

To be honest, I think there are more companies upgrading from 2000 to XP than there are, at this time, upgrading from XP to Vista. That trend will continue for a while.

I doubt we'll see a user base in the enterprise world with Vista for at least another 1.5-2 years.
