Peaches Posted May 16, 2009 Report Share Posted May 16, 2009 Windows 7 Expected To Kill Vista Researchers at Gartner urge clients to skip Vista altogether if they haven't already deployed the OS. By Paul McDougall InformationWeek May 15, 2009 10:06 AM "The arrival of Windows 7 should put the final nail in the coffin for Windows Vista, one of the most disappointing products in software maker Microsoft's recent history. hat's the opinion of researchers at IT consulting group Gartner, who are advising corporate customers who haven't already made the leap from Windows XP to Vista to forgo the latter entirely. "Microsoft expects to ship Windows 7 in time for the 2009 holiday shopping season. Organizations with a Windows Vista project well underway should stay the course, but most others should target Windows 7," wrote Gartner researchers Michael Silver and Stephanie Kleynhans, in a report released this week. The researchers said Windows 7 holds a number of useful features for business users. BranchCache allows workers in remote offices to tap information from headquarters more quickly and easily by caching that content on local networks. Another feature, AppLocker, gives IT managers control of which applications users can run. Details at IWeek - http://tinyurl.com/pqf6ua>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Quote Link to post Share on other sites
