MS is continuing to let hardware vendors get hold of XP licences until May 2009.... read here for more info.

Good, why fix something if it aint broke?

Still haven't gotten around to use Vista and I may not either.

 

Oh, you will matey. Give it a couple of years.

When MS say jump and stop support for the OS then you'll have to.

*shakes fist*

 

I probably wait until Windows 7.

 

lol, I just don't have a need for it at the moment. But your probably right I'll have to at some stage.

It'll be just my luck that MS will say you can't get Windows 7 unless you have Vista or something.

 

Happy days!

 

Boo, Vista!

Vista is okay for personal use, but for networks..

Hope I dont have to do Vista cert to do the Windows 7 cert

 

What would you recommend if that does happen?

 

I would say it tends to depend on what you're supporting and going to support. If you're supporting XP, then 'major' in that; then you can upgrade to Vista or 7 when it comes out.

If you are supporting 7 then I'd personally suggest going straight for the exams for that OS.

 

Well I passed my 70-270 yesterday with 826/1000 so that's alright

We have a handful of Vista users, the only real problems you run into with Vista (after SP1, which wagnerk pointed out) is VPN and backward compatibility, other than that, it's okay.

But, that said, I have gone through about 3 months of Vista problems and resolved them, so maybe I would be better of waiting for the Windows 7 cert, I dont really want to spend 2 - 3 months on the Vista cert when Windows 7 is apparently almost identical to Vista, just 'totally backward compatible'.

 

Don't you bet on it!

If things such as MS OSes have an opportunity to change between Beta and full release, they most assuredly will.

 

Vista = Millenium.

 

For networks Vista Business and Ultimate works fine(haven't actually worked with Enterprise).... of course this just a personal observation... Vista(Business, Ultimate and Enterprise) will do perfectly well when you deploy them on a network that is running Windows Server 2008

 

Running Win 2k3

That's where we may be hitting a wall.

 

Just because Microsoft stops supporting it doesn't mean I have to stop using it.
