This is true, and on this I don't really have to argue.  (Thankfully I've had 
very little to do with Vista so far - although Office Vista is already 
causing backwards compatability issues).

The problem is that the shear number of companies out there, and their 
willingness to keep updating their skill-set on different versions of one 
mail server and one SQL server and one HTTP server.

I know that Apache is the most popular web server in the world, but if I can't 
get support for it in Leeds I've lost.
