Microsoft: What Cost the Vista Fiasco?

June 13, 2008 from NewsFactor.com - “Charles Di Bona, a senior analyst at Sanford C. Bernstein and a noted bull on Microsoft, said in a June 10 report that "dampening" adoption of Vista by corporate customers will shave $395 million in revenues and 2 percent a share in earnings from the company's financial results for the 2009 fiscal year, which begins July 1. According to a Bernstein Web survey of 372 information technology professionals fielded in May, companies expect just 26 percent of their PCs to be running Vista by the beginning of 2011, down from an estimate of nearly 68 percent of computers by respondents to a similar survey a year ago.”

180 View – We had problems initially with Vista but we were early adopters. A small company should be able to resolve Vista problems fairly easily. However, large organizations face bigger challenges with their widespread and diverse users.
