Ignore Vista Until 2008
Blakey Rat writes "According to Gartner in a research note entitled 'Ten reasons you should and shouldn't care about Microsoft's Windows Vista', businesses should wait until 2008 before installing Windows Vista, or 'pursue a strategy of managed diversity' by only bringing in new machines with Windows Vista and not upgrading existing computers. Although acknowledging the security benefits of upgrading, they explain in the report that most of the security-related benefits that come with Vista are available today through third-party software products."
How about being modded "Redundant" since someone said the same thing a little ways above you?
Okay, I give you the benefit of the doubt - since it's in the first few posts, the other poster probably hadn't shown up yet.
I'll go find the one-hundred-fiftieth post that will say the same thing...
Richard Steven Hack - This sig is TOO GODDAMN SHORT TO DO ANYTHING USEFUL WITH! MORONS!
People using Windows don't mind the aesthetic mediocrity that permeates the Windows philosophy--bugginess, superfluous and distracting animation, gratuitous gradients, ugly icons, egregiously unintuitive behavior--because they don't expect or demand excellence in their daily lives. They, the undiscriminating masses, don't even know what to look for. Therefore, there will be no reason for them to seek out an upgrade; Vista will only catch on as Dell begins bundling it with their $199 shitbox-of-the-week.
Some of us are different. Some of us know beauty when we see it, and we are naturally drawn towards quality. We are the Mac users of the world, and we'll be chasing big cats even as the rest of you people sink lower and lower into your cloacina of depraved oblivion.

All i gotta say is there are some over sensative mods out there that need to learn to take a joke a bit better if they are going to rate these threads
I work for Microsoft.
/.ers belive anything they hear.
So I am really getting a kick out of most of these replies.
Some of you guys are very good at making it sound like you know what you are talking about.
But trust me.... You don't.
I think you just want to make yourself sound smart, when in reality you dont know what you are talking about.
This is how bad info gets passed around.
If you dont know about the topic....Dont make yourself sound like you do.
Cuz some
