Vista Rush

Interesting! Take a read...

January 29, 2007 (Computerworld) -- Murchnick looked across at the Old Man in disbelief. “We’re not gonna upgrade to Vista until when?”

“Maybe next year,” the Old Man said. Uh-oh, he thought — here comes trouble. “What’s wrong, Murch? I thought everything was running fine for your sales guys. You don’t need Vista. And you know it’s going to take time to figure out how much hardware Vista will require for us, and make sure none of our applications will break. What’s the rush?”

“Well ...” Murchnick hesitated. “I have to use it at home.”

The Old Man’s eyebrows went up. “Have to? As in, have to because you’re getting a new PC and that’s what will come on it?”

Murchnick nodded. “And your help desk guys say they won’t give me the VPN software for it,” he said. “Without that, I can’t get on the network.”

“We just started testing the VPN client on Vista,” said the Old Man. “And before you ask, no, you’re not a good candidate to be a test user.”

“Why not?” demanded Murchnick. “I test things all the time.”

I hate being the first one in on a new OS, particularly Microsoft.. constant updates, fixes, and upgrades! No thanks.. I'll wait for awhile to upgrade to Vista. Took me forever to upgrade from ME to XP!
