  Research indicates Windows Server 2008 could flop
Time: 08:36 EST/13:36 GMT | News Source: Network World Fusion | Posted By: Kenneth van Surksum

Research indicates that Windows Server 2008 could be just as big a flop in the enterprise as Windows Vista. In a survey of 687 IT professionals conducted by Network World, half of them said that they have no plans whatsoever to upgrade to Windows Server 2008 at any time after it launches in February.

This compares to 13 percent that said they would upgrade in the first 12 months after its release; 9 percent that plan to upgrade 13 - 24 months after release: a mere 8% that say they'll roll out Windows Server 2008 after they finish rolling out Vista; and 19% that say they have just begun to think about their plans.

Respondents biggest fear about Windows Server 2008 is that it will break their existing apps. 68% named that as a concern. 65% also fear how expensive an upgrade will be, naming licensing/pricing issues as a concern. Security is an area of uncertainty for 43% and 34% said they felt that Windows Server 2008 offers no compelling new technology. (Note: multiple answers allowed.)
