A new survey of senior management and IT executives from small and large organizations indicates that market adoption of Windows Vista will be a long and drawn out process, with many companies having no immediate plans to migrate to the new Microsoft operating system.
A survey conducted by research group IBRS in conjunction with iTWire in
July 2006, received 253 reponses, including 38% IT executives, 29% CEOs
(all from small companies) and 7% systems admistrators.
The survey covered organisations of all sizes; 59% had <99 desktops, 17% had 99-1000 desktops and 24% 1000+.
When asked when they intend to migrate to Vista; 9% said they will
adopt it short after it is released; 10% after service pack 1; 16% as
new hardware is installed, 12% only when XP expires and 38% said they
do not have any plans to adopt Vista.
Only 17% of the respondents had an agreed strategy; 23% had talked
about it but not agreed to a strategy and 61% had not even looked at
the issue.
According to the IBRS report, which will be released this week,
corporations are aware of Windows Vista, however with less than 20% or
survey respondents having an agreed to strategy for dealing with the
migration, Vista is not a high priority.
