NEWS FEATURES Who’s adopting Windows Vista? And when’s Windows Server 2008 being released?According to recent reports, Microsoft® Windows Vista™ adoption is taking off in the SMB market. According to CMP’s Channel Web Network, and based on a survey of 170 solution providers in the SMB space, some 29% are adopting Vista in the first half of 2008, with another 33 percent planning adoption in the second half of the year. CMP noted that the adoption rate among SMBs is higher than with Enterprise customers. By all indications Vista adoption will take off significantly when application development catches up to the OS. Windows Vista SP1 has been released to manufacturing, which should generate increased adoption. CMP anticipates much wider adoption, particularly in the enterprise space, with the service pack release. Meanwhile, Microsoft Windows Server 2008 is now available for download. Key features include improved security and virtualization technologies. Check out the highlights.
