Here’s the deal… I am an IT admin for a network of around 50 XP Pro machines. I am confident and comfortable with XP assistance and it functions well. With MS’s proposed non-support of XP, I began to look for other options. Vista will only run on about 6 of our machines, so to upgrade will be a major budget item for the non-profit I work for. PLUS – I know Zippo about Vista. From everything I read, the IT world is strongly resisting Vista due to instability, hog of resources, and the learning curve.
What does everyone think? Will XP be around a while with support, or do I need to be putting in requests for budget items for something else? Will I be forced to go to Vista anytime in the near future?
I need to be planning for the future of our network, but I’m at a loss as to recommendations to make and which way to go. Please voice your opinions!
