It's interesting that the web page says: "All reports were researched and funded by the analyst firms themselves." But the report for Mass. says: "Sponsored by: Microsoft" Good old Microsoft creating lots of IT consulting revenue because Vista will be a complex upgrade for some firms. I wonder if any firms will look at those costs for upgrading and start to think more about options for open source systems? For instance, the report says that for each dollar of revenue Microsoft gets for Vista it will create $18 in revenue for the "ecosystem beyond Microsoft". So that could be taken by firms as it will cost 18 times the purchase price of Vista to deal with upgrades. TCO...total cost of ownership. ~Charles Uchu >
