His statement? Vista is a joke. Virtually no one is using it in the
business world, and no one is planning to migrate. If you have a
certain type of site license, you can continue to downgrade your new
machines to XP Pro even after the official "end-of-life", and that's
what all his client companies are doing.


Uh-huh.
You know, Harry, he may be right. Business has always been slower
picking up on a new OS. Migration and training costs sometimes keep them
with an older OS until there is a reason to upgrade, either needed
hardware replacement, or something in the newer software is needed. I
know you like Vista, and, frankly, I've never used it, but sell me. What
am I missing out on by not using Vista? What does it do, that couldn't
be done with XP?

I can dual boot Vista or WinXP. The only thing I've found in Vista that is
even remotely unique are the cutesy "gadgets".



After a few months, I found the VISTA "gadgets" annoying and shut them
down. The only "gadget" I have running on my Mac is one that shows the
local temp and weather when I click on it. I do like the way that VISTA
properly handles more bigtime programs being open and ready to use at
the same time than XP did.
