Businesses warned to hold back on new OS.
Windows Vista is expected to ship early next year, but companies shouldn't even think about deploying the new operating system until well into 2008, according to Gartner analyst Michael Silver.
Speaking to several hundred IT executives at the Gartner Symposium/ITExpo, Silver said companies need a good 12 to 18 months to plan, test and pilot Vista before they move to a full-blown rollout. He added that virtually every company will migrate to Vista eventually, simply because sooner or later they'll have to.
