Re: Why Windwos Vista !

Agreed. I am currently using Vista on my laptop and have had zero issues with it in a workgroup or domain environment. However, this does not justify having all my client upgrade to the newest operating system. The features that Cat speaks of would have to justify the upgrade. Meaning if Vista and its features prove to reduce the end-users work load, reduce the amount of time a computer is down due to the stability of the operating system, and it increases productivity for the end-users; then you have to give the upgrade some thought.

The question is simply this: Will upgrading to Vista now increase my ROI? If not, then stay with Windows XP. If so, then upgrade.

Most pros will agree that the first release of an MS operating system is
not ready for prime-time. Wait for the first service pack before you
start rolling out to all your users. It is suitable for testing,
however. Do I recommend it over all the other OSs out there? No. I'm
currently using XP and FC6 and I'll probably not go over to Vista until
and unless I absolutely have to. That's mainly a political decision
rather than a dig at Vista as a product. It has many attractive feature
but they are not unique enough to pay the high cost MS demands in terms
of money, privacy, and contral. I'm standing back with a "wait and see"
attitude to see how things really shake out.
