A corporation the size of Intel would take 3 years to complete a rollout of the operating system. When Vista is due to be replaced in half that time, its simply not worth the hassle - you'll be stuck supporting a dead-end system most likely dropped and forgotten like Windows ME. Its better to sit & wait; there's no real reason to upgrade to Vista anyway; and use the time to plan the Windows 7 (or MacOS X or Linux or ...) rollout better.

They are not a satirical news site. You are probably getting confused with “The national enquirer”, a rag by all accounts.

Although there's a lot of judgemental opinions on there this story doesn't seem too far fetched considering what a crapchute Vista is. Even if it is post Service Pack 1 it still has a lot of quirks.
