    It will take most organizations somewhere between 12-24 months to plan and execute a successful Windows Vista® migration. This means that even if you started today, it is not unlikely that you'd be looking at Q210 for completion.

    If you’ve been putting off migrating to Windows Vista and are missing the advantages of enhanced security, exceptional mobility and a feature-rich GUI, it is important to note that after June 30, 2008, hardware vendors will no longer direct load Microsoft® Windows® XP on new machines; and mainstream support for Windows XP will end April 14, 2009.

    If the clock is ticking, we want you to make sure you appropriate this time to plan and prevent a “rushed” migration, which can result in substantial costs and operational issues – both well above standard migration scenarios. What has to be considered is not just your perspective on Windows Vista, but also the shorter term outlook for Windows XP and how that impacts your decisions.

    Please join Ziff Davis Enterprise Market Experts on Wednesday, March 26 for this eSeminar – hosted by Dell and Microsoft – to learn about:
    • Reasonable processes for planning a migration
    • Normal time frames during the planning and evaluation phases of Windows Vista migration
    • Costs analysis for a "rush" migration
    • Learn how simple assessments can help organize your migration
