Windows Vista is big for Microsofts bottom line. Its also really big.
Thursday, November 30th, 2006
On Thursday, the software giant will launch the long-awaited, newest version of its operating 
system, Vista, for business customers. They’ll also release new corporate versions of their Office products, like Word and Excel, and their Exchange e-mail server software. Chief Executive Steve Ballmer will speak at a launch event Thursday morning in New York, and some of Microsoft’s largest customers will be listening.
But how soon will they upgrade?
Vista’s magnitude is one reason for skepticism. It’s Microsoft’s largest, most complex operating system ever, and upgrading from the current version, Windows XP, is a big step. Corporate information technology departments have to figure out whether it’s worth the return on investment to test, purchase, install and support the new version. And many will have to update their computer hardware just to meet Vista’s recommended setup. Vista Bloats Up - Forbes.com
