Not true, most people I know who are running Vista are running Avast, Computer Associates (eTrust free for one year), AVG (beta version) and I think a couple of others. It is only Norton and MacAffee who can't seem to get their anti-virus ducks in order. But I wouldn't have either of those on my system so they are no loss as far as I'm concerned. I usually run eTrust but will also use online scans like Trend Micro.
Spy Sweeper has announced a Vista version to be available after Vista is released. Registry Sweeper already claims Vista compatibility.

And no, I will not be moving to Linux since I *like* Windows. Heck, I've got a PowerBook sitting a foot away from the keyboard I'm typing on and rarely use it for more than testing web pages and running applications that require Java which I will not install on my tablet pc.
