Is it worth getting Vista?

Re: Is it worth getting Vista?

I wouldn't install it if I was paid too. I'm sticking with good old reliable XP.

Microsoft software ain't good until SP1 🙂
Windows XP is so stable now just because it's already SP2 + lots of hotfixes...
There are folks still enjoying Windows 2000 — it already has SP4 :)))
Be patient, dude 🙂

I am using Vista. There is no problem as long as the Vista PC is not joined to domain network. Windows Vista has some additional tools and accessories and improved user interface. To get it working for you is a matter of setting a few options of preferences. It is quicker and more reliable than XP. There is no common use application that is not working on it. Beginning of 2008 the first service pack will be released. There are some improvements too.

I just worked on it over the holidays for my father who is having all types of problems with it. In particular setting up the pc for external hardware. However in the next year or so it should become more stable.

All of my employees use Ubuntu Linux desktops instead of windows. It saves me a ton on licensing and also don't have to worry about viruses and spyware. Oh yeah, the cost is free.
It is definately a change for the employees, but hey they get used to it.

Cost cutting, cost reduction, consolidation or cost management have become central planning topics in all competitive markets. An established company in a maturing market is likely to see the best return from investments in cost cutting – but this has to be balanced with investments that will grow the top line – typically a mixture of selling more to existing clients (market penetration) finding new clients both locally and internationally (market development) and creating new profitable products and services (product development). This mix of strategies has been referred to as the golden circle:

Consolidation improving cash flows which can be used to invest in building profitable sales in existing markets;
More profitable home market sales enabling investment in the existing product/ service mix in new markets;
More profitable sales in home and new markets enabling investment in new products and services which can then be transferred to existing distribution channels.

The temptation is often to look for major, single solutions – with the obvious “nuclear” option of outsourcing, and/or dramatic cuts in personnel. This has surface advantages, but often creates crucial competitive problems. The main areas of concern are:

The impact on core competence;
The decreased speed of response to market demands;
Increased problems of quality control;
Vulnerability to supplier default.
