Vista! an expensive Step.

Direct-marketing reseller CDW has released results of a survey indicating that many businesses will not be upgrading to Windows Vista as soon as it comes out at the end of the year. Most IT managers indicated their businesses would need to make costly hardware upgrades –presumably new PC purchases–to support Microsoft’s new operating system.

A positive spin was put on this report saying that “86 percent of respondents plan to upgrade to Vista”, but only Twenty percent of survey respondents “would start deployment” within 12 months, said Terry Fink, CDW manager of marketing development.

I will be waiting until some more of the bugs are worked out of the system before i start advising customers to upgrade to Vista, but like the report says, its a costly upgrade depending on how many computers you have.
