Over the last 6 months we have been trying to integrate Vista into our client?s environments with as little user/administration pain as possible. I must say that Vista is going to do 3 things for our industry.
1. Cause the administrators to dig in and enjoy their job security ? for the truly skilled IT professional?
2. Cause the average administrator to quit and move to another profession.
3. Cause the general IT population to really conceder moving to a Linux shop.
We have found supporting Vista to be twice the support cost of XP without the ability to retain the same reliability.
For the first time in 10 years my firm was ask buy a client to uninstall an OS ?Vista? and install an off the shelf purchase of XP pro. 60+ stations.
Every day I have to log into my Vista test environment I find myself asking:
?What was Microsoft Thinking??
