Desktop OS, Hold the Vista

IT GuyEWeek has released their Enterprise IT survey findings on OS migration. The general consensus? IT Pros still hate Vista.

“…72 percent of respondents said they expected the desktop OS they were using now to be the one they would be using in 2009. Some respondents were looking beyond Vista, with 6 percent saying the desktop OS they expected to be using in 2009 would be Windows “7,” the post-Vista version of Windows.” Read the full report on EWeek.Com

    hmmm, interestingly enough, Windows 7 is Windows Vista - just with a lot of tweaks and improvements. I am no fan of Microsoft nor Vista which was released too late with too few of the features that were promised. Saying this, Vista is a great step forward from XP but at a fair cost. The problem is, XP has been around for so many years, people have forgotten that every new major edition of Windows comes at an increased hardware plenalty. Yes Linux does most of the things Vista does in a third of the RAM, yes Vista is not a major step forward compared to XP for the average, uneducated user but in a lot of ways it is. I find a percentage that high fairly hard to believe especially the number of Vista machines I see go through my work for support compared to this time last year.
