Anthony Doesburg: 'Wait and see' approach to Vista
,----[ Quote ]
| But that doesn't mean everyone who's buying Vista is using it. In fact, XP
| and the even older Windows 2000 remain the operating systems of choice at
| most large organisations.
|
| The reason is conservatism within the IT departments of big outfits; a home
| user suffers inconvenience if a new operating system has a few teething
| problems but a business or government department could be knocked out of
| action if the changeover goes wrong.

| the seal and want to take Vista back.
|
| I know a number of repair techs, most of them running smaller shops and all
| of them are reporting people asking for "their XP back."
