[AccessD] OT: Vista

LOL.  Actually, that was part of the point with the article.  Yes,
Windows 7 is going to be released soon....but are you really going to
jump into Windows 7 on a business platform from day one?  We took years
to migrate to XP, and we weren't even thinking about it until SP2.
EVERY Windows OS has needed a SP before it's really ready.  If MS pulls
off an OS release without a SP coming in the near future...I'll be
impressed!

Vista Business with SP1 is actually a very good OS.  I'm installing
Windows 7 as I type this, so I'll poke around in it soon enough.  But
when we wrote the article, Susan forwarded a list of links to 'Why
Windows 7 is better then Vista', and I found mistakes or
misunderstandings in a lot of what is said about Vista.  An example was
a comment about Windows Aero being able to 'show video' in Windows 7 in
the window previews.....ummmm, Vista already does that.

I'd say it was more a list of "10 things that Vista does better than XP"
rather than a reason to 
move now.  

With the imminent release of Windows7,  moving to Vista now means you
either get stuck 
with a dog or have to do two re-instals to get "Vista done right" which
from all  reports 
appear to be what Windows 7 is.

I certainly won't be upgrading any XP machines to Vista and am advising
my clients to hold 
off on purchasing new workstations until they come bundled with W7.
