Is Windows Vista Ready for Business?

Vista is released and several clients have been asking about when Digital Foundation will upgrade all their computers to this new operating system. We are recommending our clients to wait until 2008 for upgrades. This strategy is best understood when considering the huge computing power requirements: any computer purchased in 2005 is not up to speed to power Vista and will result in slow performance and lost productivity.

What about new computers?
We are considering Vista for new computer purchases in 2007. This allows us to guarantee the computing speed requirements for good performance.

This is also explained in detail in James Gaskin's Podcast on Windows Vista.

As for Office 2007 - this upgrade is a great option all our clients who are in a software agreement with Microsoft or are ready to purchase upgrades for all their PCs. Since Office 2007 introduces new file types it will be best for your business to have a homogenous network of Office 2007. We are finsihing our research on this software and will be ready to install Microsoft Office in large scale in April.

Please let us know if you have any questions.
