  Vista SP2: The new gold standard. Get used to it
Time: 00:41 EST/05:41 GMT | News Source: InfoWorld | Posted By: Kenneth van Surksum

It happens with every major Windows version. First, there's resistance. IT shops don't want or need a new Windows. The new version is slower, fatter, and full of unnecessary fluff. No, thank you. We're staying put on Windows [insert major version name] for now.

Time passes. Old hardware gets replaced. New hardware comes online, frequently with the unwanted Windows pre-installed. Then, at some point -- usually after the second Service Pack has been released -- IT begrudgingly accepts the inevitable and embraces the next generation.

For the version known as Windows Vista, that point has now been reached. SP2 is now officially in beta. The bell has tolled. The writing is on the wall. It's time to embrace reality and accept the fact that Vista isn't going anywhere. Even when it ceases to be the next generation, this version's soul will live on in its prettier, flashier twin, Windows 7.
