It is amazing how quickly Vista has failed, not only in the home, but more in the business. The main problem with with the business side is that Windows XP is perfect for business, and now with the anticipated release of XP SP3, Vista will shoved to the back of the line with Windows ME, deemed a failure in the eyes of the corporate world.
When Vista was first released and I was playing with the CTP version you could tell that it was not going to be viable in the business world. Why? UI improvements would make end-user training a nightmare. I still like the idea out there that Microsoft should release Windows Workstation 2008. Make a true business-class, with a modular approach, rather than giving me WDS, Aero, and all the other bells and whistles that slow down Vista. Until then, if you would like to run Windows Server 2008 as a "Super Workstation", check out what you would need to do here.
Now that Microsoft has announced the availability of the RC version of Service Pack 3 for our old friend, XP, I’m delighted to tell you all that not only is this upgrade substantial and extremely helpful. Believe it or not, this upgrade creates the best Windows experience I have ever used.
Now, as you may be aware, Vista is, well, crap. Sure, SP1 is on the way early next year and the hope is still there that Microsoft may be able to turn it around, but let’s face it — the chances of Vista becoming a wanted OS are dwindling by the minute.
