Hear hear.
I help out a friends computer shop from time to time, spec out new systems for them and help build them of an evening over a few tins of beer kind of thing, and no-one has been asking for Vista on their new PCs at all. No-one.
The current trend is people asking for laptops with XP. Now, cheap(er) lappys with XP on from the suppliers is a rare thing, they all seem to come with Vista Basic/Home on them.
So, what we've been doing is charging them the little extra (£45 or so at wholesale cost) for XP Home (which most of them don't mind, seeing as they can't find a new XP lappy anywhere else at any price), installing it for them and leaving them the Vista recovery disks/product key that was supplied with the lappy on for them for when/if they choose to "upgrade" in the future.
