I don't see TI moving to Vista soon. They are in the process of
upgrading to new Dell's with XP. Moving such a large business to Vista,
or any other non-standard operating system with out testing and proper
tools would be foolish. This is nothing special. Same thing happened
when Win 3.1 came out, then again when Win-95, then Win-NT, and Win-2k.
You will find that many of the major Fortune 500's tend to be quite
conservative when it comes to IT infrastructure. After all, the
business DEPENDS upon these systems for countless tasks.
Now the real question will be 12 to 18 months from Vista's release.
After all the testing, debugging, and porting of specialty applications
that a company requires to run its operations. Will this happen or will
Microsoft's new baby die in the crib due to it being either insecure or
unable to run on "reasonable" hardware, or it breaking too many custom
applications, or the impact of all three feared short commings. I have
a feeling that it is at least 60% likely that this product will fail.
Vista is MS listening to Hollywood, the entertainment business, it's own
accountants, but not the customers, be they business or consumer.
This will be fun.
