Story: Businesses warned against skipping Vista
It's worth the risk!
Considering that Vista has minimal advantages over XP, and the fact that XP will be supported until 2014, i think businesses are right to want to skip Vista:
Although Microsoft has a history of delays, its 7 years between now and the end of support for XP systems, surely Microsoft can't afford to wait 7 years before putting out a new Operating system.
Should a business be forced to upgrade to Vista, 3 years from now for example, Vista will have depreciated by then; therefore costing alot less compared to upgrading now.
Also, employees would be more familiar to Vista (presumably from using it at home), therefore saving the business money on training.
In in opinion, its definately worth trying to skip Vista!
