You may be right. A lot of companies were holding back on all sorts of IT purchases in recent years. Win7 seems far more acceptable than Vista and people do seem to be priming themselves for wider updates. But looking at the new Corvette is not the same as buying it ;-) and I wouldn't expect the uncritical behavior we used to see in the old days- a lot of these people will wait for SP1 and may well decide not to spend their precious $$$$ when it comes to it.
