Best Practices for Managing the Move to Vista
Overview To deploy Windows Vista in 2008, a significant amount of preparation work must be done. Deployments don't just happen overnight. It will take many organizations about 18 months from the time Windows Vista ships to test applications, get Independent Software Vendors (ISVs) to support applications, build images and run pilots. Organizations that ignore Vista until 2008 will not be ready to deploy it until 2010. While previous papers have focused on the need for a Windows Vista migration strategy and on recent security issues pertaining to the new operating system, this paper takes a closer look at best practices for Windows Vista planning, migration, and ongoing management.
