Some of them won't adopt Vista cause they have older TPM version in their computer!

THE SYSTEM'S COMPATIBILITY WITH SOFTWARE AND HARDWARE

Security plays another role in compatibility of existing hardware. Microsoft BitLocker Drive Encryption, a new data-protection feature, uses a Trusted Platform Module (TPM) 1.2 to protect user data and ensure that a PC running Windows Vista has not been tampered with while the system is offline, i.e. laptops.

Pacific Life plans to use the feature-but not immediately because its laptops have older TPM chips that won't support it. The insurer coordinated its annual (desktop) equipment turnover with its deployment of Vista and plans to do the same with laptops.
