Dell Australia has decided to take the unusual step of distancing themselves from advising customers to upgrade to the Microsoft Vista operating system.
Dell is warning businesses that possible migration challenges lie ahead. Microsoft have suggested that 1GB of RAM is a fine platform to run Vista on, but Dell claim 2GB or larger would be more comfortable.
Dell’s client services business manager Niall O’Callaghan said –
“They need to be looking at the number of images they will be installing and the size of these images. A 2GB image for each user will have a big impact. We are set up to give people all the guidance and support they need for this but we are not here to promote Microsoft and tell people they should buy it. We can show them the advantages of Vista and what they need to put in place to begin to move across.”
In the last month alone Microsoft have sold more than 40 million units of Vista, though most of these sales were made to consumers rather than businesses. With Vista being such a big, complex programme, application migration is the key area that needs thorough testing.
