Is it just me, or can everyone just choose to sit on XP indefinitely if Vista is such a disaster?

There is a precedent. Microsoft did have to extend support of VB6 because a huge user base decided not to go to Dot Net.

Of course, Microsoft could choose to sneak an update into XP, but then everyone's hardware would quit working.
