Vista - Just say no

It looks like I’m not the only one recommending that folks hold off for a while before upgrading to Windows Vista - the federal Transportation Department is holding off too.

OK, as the article here notes, that’s not unusual. Most businesses and large agencies are cautious about moving to new versions of operating systems. And it’s the same here at the newspaper, my PC is running Windows XP (my Mac is using 10.3.9).

It was also sort of interesting to note that Internet Explorer 7 and Office 2007 are off-limits for now too.

Linux advocates will be cheered to learn - down lower in the story - that the FAA may abandon Windows and is considering Linux.

Love Windows, hate Windows - it doesn’t matter - I think most home users would be smart to wait a while before moving to Vista.
