Armour666 0 #2 July 21, 2007 thats not suprising considering most coprate will not move to a new platform till it has been proven.There are some larger companies who are just now moving from NT. Most companies it's about the cost and in I.T. the latest and greast cost money big money. the cost of licenciening. deployment, training. The cost of having to change to a new os usualy involves having to do extensive testing to make shutre it can intergrate to existing infenastructor. usualy requares the replacment and updating all the licenced software running on the system to completed againe all therse pices have to be tested because again the systems they conect to have to have the compatability (and it usualy gets ugly) then there is dealing with scripts in house apps department level data bases ect ect ect that all usualy have to be rewriten or converted to work with the next release level of software. The big cost is the end user. Training and lost productivity at the end user level is huge when changing to new platforms. paying a traines is small compared to the need to take people out of thier jobs for X number of hours to attend training. then the increased number of help desk calls that tend to arrise. the lost productivity because of new OS or programs. it usualy takes with planing testing intergration and execution 2 years to do a majour change. I'm not suprised one bit by this and the same thing took place when XP arrivedSO this one time at band camp..... "Of all the things I've lost I miss my mind the most."
