Gartner: Large businesses shouldn't skip Vista | |

Planning to skip Windows Vista altogether, waiting for Microsoft's next operating system? For some companies, it's a tempting option, but they need to consider it carefully, or they could end up feeling some pain down the line, according to analyst group Gartner. Gartner said companies have "significantly delayed" the start of their Windows Vista migrations, with most planning to begin deployment in late 2008 or even 2009, making some think of skipping Vista altogether. | ||

| Tomorrow, Gartner will publish a new report saying businesses should skip Vista. Then, 2 days later, they'll reverse themselves again. |

| Talk about hedging your bets... This has got to be the fourth or fifth time Gartner has flip-flopped, already! |

#1 Is it not expected that Gartner's recommendations change as Microsoft is improving Vista via updates, service packs, etc?
Oh, no.. Vista can not be improved/fixed, right? :) |

#3: Did you read the article? Nowhere did it mention SP1 as a reason to upgrade. As a matter of fact, I don’t think I’ve ever read a more useless piece of drivel in my life.
“But Gartner also said skipping Windows Vista might be the right decision for smaller organizations because they don't have the scale to support multiple operating systems on an ongoing basis, making a full-scale "forklift" migration project more efficient." Gartner also advised that larger organizations with lots of in-house developed applications should consider forklift deployments, because their developers would be responsible for supporting all homegrown applications on multiple operating systems, which would "greatly increase application development costs." Hey Gartner or should I say “Master of the Obvious”, forklift this! |
