Corporate is different tho

My post was more directed at home consumers. Everyone wants new technology included in their operating system, yet doesn't want to upgrade their hardware to suit it.

Running 64bit as my main workstation OS. Playing Bf2 and stuff..

Very stable OS I have to say.

Before that I was running PDC release which was bit buggy.

I am running it on Dual core 6GB RAM

6GB RAM on a personal PC is crazy. It's amazing how memory hungry Windows is becoming.

I'm working on a server at the moment which has 86Gb RAM

Meh not that crazy it is required some times. And it is cheap as chips, when you run your host OS (Vista), then a virtual XP machine for older web browser testing, then say a Server 2008 VM too for your build server and UAT environment, it all adds up.

Then you have many tools open on your Host OS which are required to get things done, RAM becomes your friend. With todays RAM prices its crazy not to have at least a couple gig.

RAM is faster than swapping out to disk, hence why more RAM means less pages need to be swapped to disk and making it a lot faster. Put as much RAM as you can throw at it and life is good.

Yeah our big boxes in Sydney are VM Hosts. VMWare ESX, hence the massive amounts of RAM. Think the biggest one has about 40 VM's on it.

there is no strategic value in moving to vista in a corporate environment.

it would be career suicide trying to manage user expectations, especially trying to deploy to users with limited security user accounts.

ps; esxi is free these days and is a good hypervisor.

pity you need the virtual infrastructure to get the tools which gives you esx anyway.

I guess at the end I am the only 1 of about 2 people in my company (not huge) 40+ employees that is using Vista. Rolling it out I do not see happening for a long time, XP is here to stay IMO for a long time.
