You are right- most businesses don't tend to move to a new version of an OS straight away, and government departments certainly don't. Upgrading hundreds, potentially thousands of PCs isn't a trivial task, especially when you have to be certain that any legacy applications will work with the new OS. That's before you get to the cost as well- the main company I contract for would need to replace over a thousand PCs currently running XP, as they wouldn't be able to run Windows 7 satisfactorily.
