..And we all know how well Vista has been received in the marketplace.
Although Windows 7 is apparently quite good.

From everything I've seen it should put the heat on the other guys. Competition is good for the market. Windows 7 is going to be good for the market.

I am excited about Windows 7. If they stuck to the goals of simplicity, light weight and speed I think it will do well.
Also, it seems they've gone back to 3 versions of the OS instead of 5 (as was the case with Vista):

I have Windows 7 installed on 2 machines at work and another 2 at home - like it a lot. Pretty much everything worked right out of the box as well, which is a first for me and Windows.
I think it will do better than Vista, but it won't help stop the slide towards Macs.

And what percentage exactly does Mac own of the Enterprise server market? Hell the personal PC market for that matter. Single digits?

Single digits?Macs have about 8.5% market share right now, but it was a fraction of that a few years earlier. iPhone sales have pushed people towards macs in a major way.
People also said that iPhones wouldn't make it into the enterprise, but that's already proving totally wrong. On the last Apple earnings call, they said that 20% of Fortune 100 companies had ordered 10,000 or more iPhones, with some buying up to 25,000 phones. Even EMC, which was originally very resistant to the iPhone, has now embraced it, and is buying it from employees as their corporate phones.

Yes, but soon the gullible hipster market will be oversaturated and its going to be hard to convince more people to overpay for crap.

Well I guess when you have almost no market share it's hard not to slide in one direction since there is no where to go in the other. Wake me when they hit 25% atleast.
