And MS claims they've sold something like 120million Vista licenses. I bet 1/3 of those machines never saw Vista, nor will those machines ever see Vista. At my job, I tried rolling out Vista, the applications (there's a long list of them) will not run on Vista. Yeah, the app vendors should make updated versions that do work, until then, our hands our tied. Even more frustrating is in-house web-based apps that don't work with Vista. You'd think a web-based app should pretty much run on anything, right? Nope. IE6 with XP only. That's not web-based, that's Microsoft backing the company into a hole.
I would like to deploy Vista, mainly for it's substantially updated networking capabilities, but that won't be happening for for as far as the eye can see.
