No New Vistas 2
Vista flops:
Mike Nash, Microsoft corporate vice president, Windows product management, put a brave face on the decision, claiming that, “While we’ve been pleased with the positive response we’ve seen and heard from customers using Windows Vista, there are some customers who need a little more time to make the switch to Windows Vista.â€
Or put another way, punters are doing anything they can to avoid having to install and run Vista on their machines.

Are they trying to phase out XP? Because if I have to buy another computer soon, it won’t be with Vista on it.

They have extended the life of XP, but if you want an XP fall-back position, you might want to pick up a copy of the CD now.
The way M$ works, when they end-of-life a product, manufacturers are no longer permitted to put it on OEM machines. I know that from my Checkpoint days.
