U.S. Government Prepares For Vista

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the battening-down-the-hatches dept.

IO ERROR writes "Patrick Svenburg, program manager for Windows Client Solutions in Microsoft Federal, answered questions from government IT managers today about the upcoming Windows Vista release. Many of the questions were about BitLocker, Microsoft's new drive encryption technology, as well as other security questions, upgrading from Windows XP, IPv6 deployment and more. Svenburg is a member of the Windows Vista Launch Team and is leading early adoption efforts for Windows Vista within the Federal community, according to Government Computer News."

    Yeah, it must be hard to rename the table and create it with a bigger field.

    Now we have to wait until Windows Vista SP1 is out before the government can be fixed.

    "Look lady, I know your ISA Client no longer works under Vista, but I am only a GS11. I am only allowed by law to turn off your transparencies, or tweak your ClearType settings. When I am promoted, they will let me defrag you, but only on Tuesdays unless it is raining, which means I can defrag only on Fridays. You need a GS13 to fix network shit, sorry."

    I didn't realize Vista would include an upgrade path from Windows 3.x.
