Talking to the IT bods I know, this isn't that uncommon a reaction, in London anyway. Most are saying they're going to stick with XP for the next couple of years, some are looking at alternatives. I bet the Ubuntu download sites are busy right now.

Whether Mac market share will go up or not, Microsoft's will go down thanks to Vista.
