extending support does not mean continuing sales; it just means they'll
take calls and create patches. However, there will be a time, an
unknown length of time, when you can only buy vista. My recommendation
is not to upgrade if you don't have to, but try to make the best of it
if you're forced to.
When I bought my Dell Inspiron they only offered vista for that
particular model. I think soon that will be the case for all pcs. If
you downgrade a pc yourself because you have access to an xp cd, then
you void any support agreement from your pc manufacturer; I think it's
better in that case to learn to live with vista.
My understanding of the Windows version 7 is that it will be treated
like a service pack for vista. I don't know how much the basic user
interface will change, so I wouldn't bank on it solving all the problems
we're currently having.

And, I've been hearing that Windows 7 is being pushed up to
being available a year sooner, and that XP support will be extended so
that it will be possible (and likely) that many folks will just skip
VISTA entirely. This is sounding pretty good to me at the moment. I
agree with Chip that when you get out of the basic stuff in VISTA you
encounter a lot of stuff that doesn't read or play nicely.

I have 2 laptops at home, one with xp and one with
vista, and I have xp at work.
I can't think of a single thing I can do in vista that I
can't do in xp. I can think of many places in vista where jaws will not
navigate the screen properly (a lot of the control panel applets such as
power schemes for instance).
If you had a choice I'd choose xp, but, it's my
impression that MS will soon, if they haven't already, stop selling xp.
If that's the case, like others have pointed out, you'll have to learn
to move on.
Certainly I agree that office 2007 is a much larger
problem for everyone than vista is.
