Corporate America's rejection of Vista

advertisement

Vista taxes all but the most modern PCs with hefty processing and memory requirements. Many of GM's PCs can't even run the system. "By the time we'd replace them, Windows 7 might be ready anyway,"

I predicted this from the beginning. Vista is great for home users. I have it, I love it! But its way too taxing for corporate computers. I've never understood why normal data processing companies always upgrade their system. Why do they need a 3Ghz, 2GB Ram machine when all they do is 90% office apps and some internet - no gaming, no video?? So why would they need Vista? But like I said, nothing against Vista - I love it for home use. Thoughts?

Who's leading the conversation?
This visualization below allows you to see the impact that each user has on the current conversation. The top row contains the group of users who have had the most impact, the 2nd row the group of users who have had the 2nd most impact (et cetera). Users with similar impact are grouped together, and the average score of the group is shown to the left of the group. The author of the article is also shown on the left, in their corresponding group. Each user's score is based on the number of comments the user has made plus the number of votes their comments have received. The scores are calculated relative one another, so while their absolute value is not particularly important, their relative difference does indicate a larger difference in impact on the conversation.

99% of business users only need an office suite and an internet browser...end of story.

The only thing a business operating system needs to do is to keep itself running efficiently and keep track of files; it doesn't need to offer cool screensavers or games or slide-shows or "helpful tips" or any of the nonsense that we see with Vista.
