Right now, Vista is not even a blip on the radar in the real business

Hey, I'm retired and ain't farting with it.
You know, I spent many years in IT on the application side, and never
paid much attention to the desktop images.
I recall when they switched from Novell to NT for networking, but
damned if I can remember any other Windows transitions.
The image team, as important as it was, was pretty small.
They knew what they were doing.
But most business users don't even know what version of Win
they're using, and that's what the image team shoots for.
They won't put something in that gets a lot of complaints
I was in a very large shop, so I don't know how it works with smaller
shops.
MS knows how many Vista business licenses it has sold, but maybe
they're not telling. They do have the ability to run roughshod over
business users to some extent, since the business infrastructure
heavily relies on them. But they can't push too hard.
