Hi there
I'd suggest this is like re-arranging the Deckchairs on the titanic.
If you are currently NOT a VISTA user why on earth would you go down this route - especially now "XP Mode" is available for Windows 7.
Businesses don't tend to upgrade very often - especially software -- no way would you do 2 quick "Company Wide" OS upgrades in quick sucession - even with only 20 PC's.
If you are upgrading to Windows 7 as everybody agrees you'd want to do a fresh install anyway. So why "Upgrade".
Installing VISTA and then W7 doesn't (from a business point of view) make ANY sense whatsoever.
If a business WAS planning to implement VISTA it probably will decide that it could be better to wait until later in the year and then implement W7.
We don't also know the final prices - but I'd suggest that a "Company License" for W7 however you look at it would be cheaper than a VISTA and a W7 license whatever the "upgrade discount" to say nothing of the extra cost of IT staff (or even Power users) time to install this.
Cheers
