I'm one! The (office) laptop is still XP and my two Steam-powered home machines are Vista. Of course the laptop has onboard Intel graphics (blech) so no HL on that... but I can still play Bookworm! I think gamers are defiantly less prone to upgrade OSes quickly. This isn't anything new... games chafed at Windows in the first place (DOS is faster!) then at Windows 95 (Windows 3.1 is faster!) and, yes, at XP as well. Vista may (I'm not sure) be taking longer to penetrate but the arguments I'm hearing don't seem any different than those we've heard before.
