The Contrarian Technologist

Category Technology
It has been three months since Vista was released and I haven't really seriously thought about upgrading. On the other hand, the first public beta of ND8 was released over the weekend and I am in the process of migrating the majority of servers and workstation. While I readily admit that it is an apples and oranges thing, the fact remains that I find no compelling reason to upgrade to Vista while I couldn't wait to get the new features in Hannover/ND8. There was a time when I never ran anything but beta versions of Windows or for that matter DOS so I am not shy about taking risks, it's just that I don't see any compelling reason to upgrade. XP is working fine and with all of the new productivity features in Domino it's maybe time to start thinking about moving to a Linux desktop. Oh, and yes - ND8 is fabulous - very stable so far. I admit that after struggling with WCS for a year or two, I was very nervous about what ND8 would be like, but my fears were unfounded the product is going to be a great success.
