"As Microsoft is out touting the "wow" of Windows Vista, two federal
agencies are among those saying "whoa."
The Department of Transportation (DOT) and the National Institute of
Standards and Technology (NIST) cite fear of compatibility problems as
one of the reasons not to allow their tens of thousands of employees
to upgrade to Microsoft's latest operating system."

""We are temporarily not permitting computers with the Vista operating
system to be connected to our networks," Michael Baum, a NIST spokesman,
said Tuesday. The organization's technology staff is testing NIST
applications and evaluating the security in Windows Vista. The same
holds true for Internet Explorer 7 and Office 2007, he said."
Shazzlewitz has taught you well.

Only 1% in businesses, buddy. 1% in one whole year, after $500,000,000+ of
spendings on marketing and despite forced preinstallations of Vista, which
nobody wants (people pay extra just to dump it).

In supercomputing, by the way, looking at top500, Windows _as a whole_ has a
market share of just 1% after _years_ in the area.

Wow. Out of the thousands of federal agencies a whole two of them are taking
a wait and see attitude with Vista.
You losers are really scraping the bottom of the barrel.

Ok, Let's use your same kind of twisted logic.
The sample is 2 federal agencies. Out of 2, there are 2 which are
saying NO to Vista.
Conclusion: 100% of Federal Agencies are saying NO to Vista.
Corollary: Dusty Hendrix is a Windope whose reasoning is as broken as
the OS s/he spouses.

How is the sample only two federal agencies? The sample is all of
them, of which two are saying wait and see, not no.

No, the sample is not "all of them" and there are more that two saying
"whoa"

Do you? Now please back up your claims that A: only two agencies were
asked about this, and B: more than two are saying "whoa"

I didn't claim that only two agencies were asked. That's a strawman you
created, feed it yourself.
as for the more than two part ... there have been numerous agencies that
have put the kibosh on vista 'upgrades' including the FAA, DOT and
and NHTSA, NIST, etc.
I believe you have even commented on these in past threads here, which
if I am correct, makes your current intransigence, interesting.
