Microsoft: 60,000 Vista biz seats to be deployed on launch day
Sunday, October 1st, 2006
While Microsoft is still over a month away from its expected business launch of Windows Vista, 
company officials are starting now to make the case for why business customers should upgrade to the next version of Windows. Some analysts are advising business users to delay deploying Vista for years. Gartner Group analysts, for instance, are advising enterprise customers not to consider large-scale Vista deployments until 2008, at the earliest.
But Microsoft execs say that they believe that business customers will be able to take advantage of new Microsoft tools and technologies that will make both Vista upgrades and brand-new installations well worth their while.
And they are predicting on the very day that Microsoft launches Vista for businesses – which Microsoft is still saying will happen some time in November 2006 – business customers who’ve been testing the operating system will launch 60,000 worldwide seats of Vista. That figure is ten times the number of seats usually deployed by Windows users at launch, said Brad Goldberg, general manager of Microsoft’s Windows Client Business Group. » Microsoft: 60,000 Vista biz seats to be deployed on launch day | All about Microsoft | ZDNet.com
