A somewhat misleading article, in that most businesses are putting off deploying Vista internally; the fact that Intel has access to the source code has little bearing on the situation, since they aren't going to waste resources trying to fix integration problems that Microsoft couldn't.
The main problem is that Vista tried to do too much, too quickly, for too many special interests -- including Intel, who only benefits from an OS that needs the latest, most expensive CPUs. What businesses wanted was an incremental improvement on XP; what they got was an attempt to out-Hollywood Apple's UI. It's not surprising that businesses are sitting out this round.
