British Tech Execs Ignore Vista
The London Borough of Newham is adopting the Microsoft Vista operating system, but many governmental CIOs refuse to consider the application. Richard Steel, currently president of government technology professionals group the Society of Information Technology Management (Socitm), is surprised Vista is being ignored.
From June Newham will begin the adoption of the Vista operating system in a phased plan. Steel, who was CIO of Newham and is currently taking time out to be president of Socitm, said they were switching from Windows XP to Vista as part of Newham's move to a new building and infrastructure refresh.
