University of Tasmania cautious on Vista
Monday, August 7th, 2006
The University of Tasmania (UTas) will take a sober approach to migrating its desktop fleet to 
Microsoft’s Windows Vista operating system.
The long-awaited software is due by the end of this year, but has already suffered several delays in getting to the market.
"We’re really at the moment adopting a wait and see attitude. It’s not something that we’re really going to be dependent on, because we’ve got quite a modern standard operating environment at the moment," the University of Tasmania’s IT director, John Parry, told ZDNet Australia via telephone late last week.
"We’d certainly want to put it through an appropriate testing regime before we deployed it more university-wide," he added.
Like most universities, UTas maintains a fleet of several thousand laptop and desktop machines, with the total reportedly approaching 5,000 several years ago. The uni has around 12,000 students and a sizeable workforce. University of Tasmania cautious on Vista: ZDNet Australia: News: Software
