  Businesses will dodge Vista in 2008
Time: 00:14 EST/05:14 GMT | News Source: ZDNet | Posted By: Kenneth van Surksum

Vista uptake is unlikely to increase dramatically during 2008, according to security vendor McAfee, who said that businesses are "leery" of upgrading from current Microsoft operating systems.

One reason businesses have not been keen to upgrade to Vista is the hardware that is needed to handle the resource-hungry operating system, David Marcus, security research manager for McAfee Avert Labs, told ZDNet Australia sister site ZDNet.co.uk.

"In 2007 there has been less than 10 percent market penetration for Vista," said Marcus. "There hasn't been a huge adoption. Most people haven't upgraded because of the hardware upgrade needed."

There is not enough of a security case for upgrading to Vista, Marcus added. While the 64-bit version of Vista has more security features than Windows XP, XP running Service Pack 2 with security products was adequate for most businesses needs, he said.
