Information Technology Pros Debate Windows Vista
An anonymous reader writes "As a follow-on to John Welch's widely read review arguing that Mac OS X is superior to Vista, Information Week is running the first in a weeklong series of roundtables where a programmer, networking consultant, and 3 IT managers have a serious technical debate on the pros and cons of Vista. What's been your experience with Vista? More importantly, do you think it will ever gain traction among corporate users, or is its glitzy Aero interface destined to make it mainly a consumer OS?"
Excellent! I don't think I've seen any discussions about Vista on Slashdot before! It's always nice to see some original topics; it can get so boring when, say, a news article that was posted three weeks ago is reposted with the meagre justification of additional multiply regurgitated opinions that add little to nothing in actual substance. Isn't it lucky that, with our excellent and discriminating Editorial team, such a thing happens so little now?
What's purple and commutes? An Abelian grape.
What a hyperbole. I've used Vista and I've used ME. ME was, literally, an afterthought. Some middle manager thought it would be too long before XP is released and decided to give the Win9x tree another go.
Sell your +5 Insightful FUD elsewhere, please.

even if they are lazy, how about picking on corporate types who take home multi million paychecks when they get fired
There is so much conjecture and bad information on this topic.
Most of the stuff that I've read (278 posts) is absolute rubbish!
Misinformed opinions based on old wives's tales, ignorance of hardware and poorly developed understandings of operating systems, marketing, Windows history and conspiracy!
Vista is the next step in the Windows saga. There's nothing else to say about it.
Don't be apathetic. Procrastinate!
