"Microsoft claims that adoption of Windows Vista and Office 2007 is chugging along nicely, with more than 88 million Vista licenses and 71 million Office licenses sold in the past year.
But these numbers belie the fact that some organizations just don't see the value in upgrading to Vista and Office 2007, and are perfectly content with XP and Office 2003. Many solution providers are seeing surging interest in downgrade rights, which Microsoft offers to business users of both Vista and Office, and which allow companies to use previous versions of Microsoft software." "One Microsoft partner who requested anonymity said growing interest in downgrade rights is an undeniable trend, as is the "bizarre denial" from Microsoft over the slow pace of Vista adoption. "For whatever reason, Microsoft executives have had their heads in the sand on Vista from day one. At the highest levels, there really seems to be a lot of denial over what's really happening with Vista," said the source." < http://www.crn.com/software/204600906;jsessionid=UOU2ZE15RW3UUQSNDLRSKH0CJUNN2JVN > --- StripMime Report -- processed MIME parts --- multipart/alternative text/plain (text body -- kept) text/html --- _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: [email protected] Subscription Maintenance: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech Searchable Archive: http://leafe.com/archives/search/profox This message: http://leafe.com/archives/byMID/profox/[EMAIL PROTECTED] ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
