I've seen Vista machines run fine and Vista machines that run like over loaded 386s. Hard to understand it. Our company hired a Network Engineer to come in for an afternoon and meet with a few engineers at our company to talk over some network security and configuration scenarios with a new product we're releasing. At the end of our meeting, talk turned to operating systems. Keep in mind this guy is a highly certified IT network guy who services small to large companies over a 3 state area. 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. The only people that are using it are home users and very small businesses who have no other choice. Anyone else that has a choice is staying away... in droves. Uh-huh. |
