Microsoft (MSFT) says it will continue to ship is old-world OS, XP, for another six months. It is the product which was to be replaced by Vista.

Does that mean that Vista is in trouble because customers still want the older OS?

Maybe. But, if the life of the XP product is extended again, there is reason to worry.
