Paraphrasing Microsoft's CEO
Steve
Ballmer
in a recent presentation to
Chief Information Officers:
It's
OK to wait for Windows 7
(Windows
7 is the product that will be released
to update and eventually obsolete
Windows Vista.)
In a ZDNet article available
here, he is
quoted as saying "“If people
want to wait they really can,
But I’d definitely deploy Vista.”
At
2SS.Com we've been very cautions about
Vista. Unfortunately the change in
user interface keeps Windows
users from adapting easily, and in
testing by various 3rd parties Vista
performance continues to lag Windows XP.
The newer Vista interface may yet have
it's day, but our guess is that it's
more-and-more likely to be in the next
Windows (e.g. Windows 7) rather than in Vista itself.
And in the mean time, we may need to become accustomed to
buying the next generation of PCs with
even faster processors, 4+ GB of
memory, and still larger/faster hard
disks.
