At the same time they are still struggling to get their users migrated to Windows Vista.

Even the Windows XP website is trying hard...

The carefully engineered support policy is some thing users should be well aware of since vendor can sell them Windows XP till May 30th 2009.

However, after nearly two years of existent Windows Vista hasn't been able to push Windows XP out and now its successor is also coming out :-).

Overwhelmed with all these? I am not. Because I use Kubuntu :-).
