Story: Government agency tells schools to shun Vista

Schools don

I agree with Richard.

I work in IT support to a school. At the moment we have absolutely no hardware that meets the spec for Vista, no money to replace the hardware, and won't have for a few years.

Any hardware we buy from now on will be Vista compliant and will probably come with a Vista OEM license. But, Vista will get wiped off in favour of XP, as we can't confuse users with a minority of systems running a different OS. School IT support staff are also overstretched and it will take time before we are able to support the new OS comfortably.

I'll use Vista at home, but it will be a long time before the school does, simply because there's no money.
