Sure, that's why they had to backtrack on removing pre-installed XP, etc.
Vista did not go well and despite MS clearly wanting to kill XP they couldn't - both corporate and consumer purchasers wouldn't let them.
At the end of the day it was risk a huge backlash or cave in and let XP continue for a lot longer than they wanted as a lead offering - and for all their size and monopoly they had to cave in.
Now they are hoping to let XP quietly fade, let the mess of Vista fade and looking to 7 (or maybe even 8) to allow them to kill XP.
Try to be reasonable... its easier than you think...
