Hi James,

Keen to know how many of those using Vista (any version) are doing so because they used their MAPs license key(s) to do so. Given that a large majority of your readers are probably MS Partners, I would be interested to know how the Vista install base resides in the end-user camp compared to VARs.

I suppose that's for another poll!

I'm loving my Polls at the moment so who knows eh?! What do you mean by end user vs VAR?

End User as in customer and VAR as in Value Adding Reseller

We are using exclusively Vista - 6 machines (MAP lcenses) except for one workstation still XPSP2 for easy look up and support. One of the Vista's is running SP1RC1 . All in my local support office.

There are inumerable virtual images of client setups for testing configurations and they are almost exclusively XP.

Of 650 or so managed workstations at clients (5 through 60 workstations according to site size)bthere is only ONE Vista workstation. and only because the LOB application was just certified for Vista and te owner is a geek.

At every other client the hold back is LOB apps that don't run, or require such workarounds in security that any advantage gained from going to Vista is negated.

We are still ordering new XP boxes in blocks of 5 - 10 for replacements for these clients. Vendors are in no rush to sort out LOB apps for Vista.

Let's face it. XP SP2, well patched behind decent perimeters is pretty secure.

Why pay more for the extra hardware horsepower to run Vista is a common view.

That said - after a hard morning on my Vista box - when I sit at a client XP box - it is beginning to look a little old fashioned. But that is not a business reason to change.....
