Only Half of Current Corporate Desktops are “Vista Ready”
Gartner has done a study that shows that only 50% of all current corporate PCs are ready for Vista’s “Aero” interface.
“Whereas today’s mainstream processors and hard drives offer plenty of performance and capacity to keep up with the new OS—now scheduled to arrive for large businesses in November and consumers in January 2007—IT managers and their counterparts, in addition to consumers buying PCs, should take care to specify at least 1GB of memory. If they aim to tap Vista’s Aero user interface, they will need a recent graphics processor, a new report by Gartner said.”
