I work for a company that develops alot of in-house applications, some of them dating back to 1999. To transition a few PC's would be useless, and usually its contractual. If a contract ends with one supplier, then they go with another, hand back all the PC's, and start fresh with new PC's. Or, if the lease ends on the current batch of PC's, then they get rid of them all and get a new batch.
The company would have to do alot of in-house testing of all their applications to make sure they are all compatible with Vista, which isnt worth the money right now. And its not that it wont work in Vista, because most (if not all) the apps should, but no company takes the chance without doing a full round of QA and testing before confirming that everything is good to go.
In the business world, OS's are hard to transition to. Its not like a single consumer who has nothing but music and movies on their computer.
