US DOT bans Vista and Office 2007

This is not abnormal. Most companies require a fairly significant testing period by IT departments before they will update to a new version of the OS. I know the company I worked for when Mac OSX came out did the same thing before they updated from OS9 to OSX. Heck, they did the same thing from WinXP SP1 -> SP2.

I wouldn't view this as a reproach of Vista, Office 2007 or IE7 at all, or an endorsement of any alternative OS. Time Warner Cable issued a similar memo that explicated state the reason for not upgrading was wait for IT to ensure that all necessary programs were fully compatible with the updated OS, Office and IE.
 
I dunno Electric, my mother works for the state here, and they usually go to the newer OS's when they become available. They have no plans to go to Vista. "Banning" an OS is pretty abnormal.
 
I completely disagree this is abnormal. It is quite normal in fact for large companies to ban a product until they have had time to have their tech departments test it thoroughly, like SNET, they didn't even transfer to XP until just before Vista was released, and that is because by that time all of the kinks have been worked out of the software.
 
I love that..."no technical or business purpose to upgrade" I have to say that I feel the same way.

When i left IL, the IL department of natural resources was still buying computers, taking off XP and installing windows 98SE!

Since i work for a federal agency, i know we don't upgrade OSs very quickly. I'd imagine we will eventually, but I'm pretty sure it wont be in the next year.
 
Here in Uruguay the national telephone company ANTEL is using relatively new computers (Palomino Pentium 4-based) but they still use Windows 2000 Server for their servers and Windows 2000 Professional or Windows NT Workstation 4.0 for their workstations.
 
did you guys read any of the articles??

they all say they are checking to make sure everything is compatible this seems like common sense with any new OS even Shock Horror Mac or Linux Systems

seriously the vista bashing has just hit a new low if this is all you have got then dont bother
