Planning Starts Now!
To deploy Windows Vista in 2008, a significant amount of preparation work must be done. Deployments don’t just happen overnight. It will take many organizations about 18 months from the time Windows Vista ships to test applications, get independent software vendors (ISVs) to support applications, build images and run pilots. Organizations that ignore Vista until 2008 will not be ready to deploy it until 2010.sadfsdfsdfsdfasdf
