The main reason we are waiting is to let things settle out or mature a bit more, in the sense of drivers and apps. Im not sure that all our apps will work in Vista and switching to Windows 7 may be put on hold as well until machines die and we have to replace them. I just know I have worked on some users personal Vista machines and I really dont know why Microsoft had to change where everything is located and I especially hated that blasted UAC! It is my considered opinion that it gets in the way of things more than it helps prevent problems, especially when people like me get tired of it and turn it off!

It has the same security model as Vista. It has the same driver model as Vista. Vista RTM had challenges. Modern Vista really doesn't. Win7 may be marginally faster than Vista (I see a slightly snappier GUI - but I don't see any compute intensive tasks getting done any more quickly); and the graphics are prettier. But it's more like Vista SP3 than the difference between Win3 and Win95; which is what I get the impression that most people are expecting. _____ From: Ziots, Edward [[email protected]] Sent: Friday, June 05, 2009 2:55 PM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: RE: My OS is better than your OS More than ¾ of my applications arent supported with Vista by there vendors, on top of UAC and all the prompting, major reason why we sticking to XP. Honestly, I used Vista at home, and hated it, lack of drivers, application incompabilities, had to relax a boatload of permissions and security levels just to make some things work ok, or at all. It isnt worth the pain.
