US Army Will Upgrade To Windows Vista
MojoKid writes "While many organizations are preparing for an upgrade to Windows 7, the US Army is upgrading to Windows Vista. The upgrade will include getting rid of all the Office 2003 programs and installing Office 2007 in its place, and is scheduled for a Dec. 31 completion date. Half the Army's computers (they have 744,000 desktop units) have Office 2007 so far, and 13 percent are on Vista, which was released in January 2007. Windows 7 is supposed to launch before year's end, so the Army will be fully on Vista sometime after Microsoft's next-generation OS is already launched."
Cool, am gonna keep an eye out for harddrives on ebay now, might just come with a free copy of vista installed!
The revolution will not be televised... but it will have a page on Wikipedia
I am sure you are right, but I would keep very quiet too if the last good idea I had was to seek WMD's in a foreign country.
Yes, and the Army seems to have drawn the line with a Ford Pinto.
If you always wait for the next design of that shipware, that car, or that style shoes you like you'll never end up with anything.
You need to draw a line somewhere. The Titanic is a good move because it's been available for some time and they've had enough time to test it out with whatever seas they might use. The Olympic is getting more difficult with new cruise tours, and if you want to stay on a White Star Line platform it's the way to go.
The Queen Victoria isn't so much different than The Titanic in terms of the hull design itself, and it's more similar to The Olympic in interface than The Queen Victoria.
I don't understand what the issue is here. I guess some people don't understand how oceanic shipping works in organizations with more than a few hundred users.
It takes a man to suffer ignorance and smile
Be yourself no matter what they say
This is just Obama's plan to drastically reduce the size of the military!! Would YOU stay if you had to work with Office 2007 AND Vista? Think about it.
I am not left-handed, either!
Look how long it took Vista to get stable.
Who said it was stable yet?
...this could be dangerous. Are you sure you wish to pull the trigger?
Sacred cows make the best burgers.
The 1st step to cripple enemy networks is convince them that something unsecure is the most secure system of the planet. That is really a subtle plan, but surely will work.

whooh! I read this as "running a methlab"

I had a Win 98 system like that. It was sitting under my desk at work and I used it as a foot rest. The uptime that thing had - you wouldn't believe. Granted, the only thing that computer did was keep my legs elevated and my feet warm. But still, it was up 24/7 for well over a year. Maybe Microsoft will use my story in one of their commercials.
