Gartner clarifies Windows Vista advice
Gartner has clarified its advice on when users should consider moving to Microsoft Vista, saying that organisations still running Windows 2000 should consider upgrading as soon as Vista ships.
As ZDNet UK reported on 11 November, Gartner recently advised that "companies shouldn't rush to upgrade to Microsoft Windows Vista" and that "most firms could safely hold back until 2008".
A second research note has now been issued about Vista, because — Gartner claimed — its recommendations had "been misinterpreted in some instances". While it does not appear to change the analysts' original advice, Gartner is warning that anyone who want to deploy Vista in 2008 needs to do plenty of preparation work.
