The huge performance hit (a recent test shows that Office itself took 90 seconds to perform tasks in a Vista box and 40 seconds in a XP box with the same hardware, and 36 under XP SP3 RC1) and compatibility problems with some applications are responsible for Vista's partial failure.
Microsoft has already extended XP's support deadline to April 2008, and my guess is that they will have to do it again next year, forced by their corporate customers.
