Yea, we've scaled back our plans to move towards Vista but we are not totally stopping the process. Pretty much moving slowly on it, in the event that "Seven" isn't any better, or missing the deadling of 2011/2012 when XP support is slated to totally end.

Originally we were planning on Jan 2008 of doing mass roll-outs, but too many issues with Vista for an enterprise level roll-out.

I've been using Vista at work though for about 6 months and it's running smoothly even with PointSec (Full Disk Encryption utility) installed. Just takes A LONG time to do updates (like 30 min a week), which can't be done in the background due to the encryption LOL

We just can't totally abandon the idea of Vista or "Seven" as we have too much dependant on Windows systems, especially the state governments, forgein governments and other banking systems that we can not avoid.

If we were a small company that didn't have the kind of reporting and other interdependencies I would be trying to get off Windows OS as well. About the only thing we can do is go towards a Thin Client environment, which we are actively working on. But even that will use Embedded XP.
