How in the world can you think that Vista is going to take over corporate desktops? Companies only upgrade their version of Windows when they are forced to... Kicking and screaming all the way! Over half of the companies I work with are on 2000 and some of them are still on NT Workstation 4 with no patches or support availible. The current version of Windows is what gets pushed out onto home users. They seem willing to put up with any amount of crap and bugginess! Have you ever tried to network two XP boxes peer to peer??
Anybody remember Apple buying the 3D graphics company Raycer? They had patents on using 3D graphics chips to treat various window contents as textures on surfaces. This is the basis of Quartz Extreme compositing. I wonder if they will be giving Microsoft trouble over using Direct 3D to render Aero Glass effects?
