Companies shouldn't rush to upgrade to Microsoft Windows Vista, according to analysts at Gartner, who believe most could safely hold back until 2008.
Australian Customs' chief information officer, Murray Harrison, says the department has almost completed rolling out Vista to its 6,000 PCs, and has improved security for its laptop fleet using Microsoft's encryption tool, Bitlocker.
Companies planning on waiting for Vista's successor may face software support issues and a rushed migration, analyst firm Gartner has warned.
Gartner Group has clarified its advice for when users should consider moving to Microsoft Vista, saying that organisations still running Windows 2000 should consider upgrading as soon as Vista ships.
The wait for Microsoft's delayed Windows Vista could be even longer than expected, according to a research report issued this week.
