Corporate America's rejection of Vista Many companies delay or denounce Microsoft's flagship product By Aaron Ricadela updated 11:34 a.m. ET, Tues., May. 13, 2008 General Motors may take a detour around Vista, the latest computer operating system from Microsoft. The automaker has encountered so many speed bumps getting Vista to work on its machines that it may just wait for the next version of Windows, due in 2010 or 2011. ------------ of course, that's only assuming the next version doesn't suck too... |

What's new? Many corporate or other large users don't jump on every new release. They carefully examine THEIR needs and the new release to see if they fit. They also tend to hold up a while to see what issues come up with other large applications so they will be able to meet them. Then they need to plan the roll-out train staff etc. When they say they MAY delay, that only means the same as usual response. Good business practices. It does not mean that Vista is bad or good. It is only an indication that GM feels that Vista may not be right for them right now. I would hope everyone who has that decision to make would consider their options as well. Had I not needed a new machine I would not have bothered to go to Vista. I had no real need to. I lost as much as I gained and none of it critical. If you had the opportunity to make a choice and you did not make a wise choice, .... why blame someone else?
