I'm taking a Windows 2003 Server class with Frank Abbott at PCC.  Don't 
ask him what his opinion is of Vista!

His best guess is that it will be at least a year before PCC loads it on 
their desktops and at least that long before they offer a class in it.

He loaded a  copy of it on a machine and is still trying to fix the 
bugs.   ;-)

We were talking about Gates in class the other day and he mentioned an 
episode where Gates told a judge, "You can't tell me how to run my 
business."  Seems to me I heard that comment in the '70's from Robert 
Allen of ATT right before the justice department dismantled ATT.

At my last job, it was 2002 before they replaced Windows 2000 and in 
2004, they were still debating whether to install SP2 due to the 
problems it caused.

When I left last year, they still hadn't deployed SP2 on all of the 4000 
or so desktops.
