I think it is justified that so many business wait for SP1/SP2 to deploy Windows Vista. In fact, the company still blocks IE7 for Windows XP desktop. The standard desktop OS is still XP SP2. And the standard Office version is still Office XP (not Office 2003 or Office 2007). On the other hand, the company is updating all the software for Vista since there are customers who needs Vista. By the way, you can always have a second computer with XP (or Linux if it works for you) for the work you have problems with Vista. Just like what Adam recommended in the other thread.
