Nothing new Roy:

Windows XP

"Windows XP Slow To Take Hold
On the first anniversary of Windows XP's release, Microsoft has little
to celebrate. Less than 10 percent of Microsoft's installed base has
upgraded to Windows XP since its release last October. That matches a
2001 Gartner prediction that nearly 75 percent of all corporate PCs
would still be running Windows 95, 98 or NT Workstation by the end of
2002. At the Gartner Symposium/ITxpo 2002, Microsoft committed $1
million to underwrite corporate studies to prove the return on
investment with Windows XP.

"Consumers may be buying into Windows XP on new PCs, but many
corporate users are still putting off plans to migrate to Microsoft's
nearly one-year-old desktop operating system.
Even the recent release of the first service pack of bug fixes for XP--
typically a signal for broader corporate adoption of Windows operating
systems--was shrugged off by several IT managers."

Windows 2K

"But Thursday's unexpected profit warning from the software giant
underscores a chilling reality: Office 2000 sales aren't taking off as
expected, being dragged down by slower-than-anticipated adoption of
Windows 2000."
More and more. I can find the same for 2K3 server as well. Vista, in
time will dominate - just as XP does now.
