Vista and XP Equal in Performance
Microsoft has had Vista and Windows XP performance tested by Principled Technologies. The results from this test indicate that XP and Vista are about equal in terms of performance. Vista performs noticeable better after a reboot than XP, but generally they are equally responsive. Some tasks were completed faster by Vista, while others were faster in XP, but by no more than half a second. Microsoft's Performance Team is happy with the finds and points out that Vista offers more capabilities out of the box.
Yes Vista offers more features, but when taken into account that you first have to purchase higher-end hardware to use Vista and do not really gain the advantage of better performance over XP, I see very little reason why businesses would be willing to spend the money to upgrade. The system is too expensive and the ROI is almost nothing.
