Army marching toward Windows Vista
by Ina Fried
With all the buzz around Windows 7, it may sound strange to be reading about enterprises moving toward Vista. But in some cases, that's where things are at.
The U.S. Army, for example, plans to move by year's end from Windows XP to Windows Vista, as well as from Office 2003 to Office 2007.
The Army has already moved 44,000 of its 744,000 desktops to Vista and is making the move to bolster security, according to an Army News Service article.
In a recent report, Gartner analyst Michael Silver said that organizations well down the path toward a Vista deployment should continue, but said other businesses may want to wait for Windows 7.
