Windows Vista is either the software blast heard round the computing world--Microsoft's marketing line is "The WOW starts now"--or a dud, depending on who's talking. Six months into Vista's release to business customers, the reality lies in between those extremes.
Microsoft's new operating system is in use at a quarter of companies surveyed by Information Week Research. That's not a bad start, but you have to read the fine print to get the full, and less impressive, picture. Among those early adopters, 91% have installed Vista on 10% or fewer of their PCs. Most of the deployment work is still ahead even for them.
