Ignore Vista Until 2008

Posted by Zonk on from the so-sayeth-the-wizard dept.

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."

    Insightful? Funny, maybe the first 40k or 50k times it has been said, but certainly not insightful.
