Delay Your Vista Upgrade
In March, NUIT recommended that the Northwestern community wait to upgrade to Microsoft’s newest operating system, Windows Vista™, until at least Service Pack 1 is released. As with any new item, whether it is a car, computer, or operating system, it’s a good idea to delay a purchase until all the new kinks are worked out.
Visiting the Windows Vista™: Known Issues page will explain several of the enterprise-level software incompatibilities with Windows Vista™ that NUIT has found.
Windows XP remains a reliable system, so if you’re in immediate need of a new operating system, why not purchase Windows XP Service Pack 2 with the option for a future Windows Vista™ upgrade?
