   Hi Trickie,

   2,300 employees thats a lot of people, if you invested only $800 on Vista this year thats 35 cents per employee.  That would suggest you bought maybe 2-3 boxed versions of Vista Ultimate, if so why are you so mad?  Thats small change for most companies of your size.

   If you I had bought all 2,300 employees Vista Ultimate maybe then I'ld be mad, but Im not sure thats the case with you.

   Either way migrating 2,300 employees to Macs would cost a lot of money at least $2,300,000 assuming one new Mac for each employee.  Im just trying to get where your comming from, yeah Vista Ultimate Extras were a dissapointment, like the performance of the Windows Send to Compressed Folder feature.  But on the whole Vista wasnt that bad, it just wasnt polished enough.

   Personally if I were you I would download the Windows 7 EnterPrise trial and try it on one of the Vista Ultimate PCs you have and see if the improvements in Windows 7 meet your needs, its a free trial so it wouldnt cost anything to try it out, then at least you can make an informed decision.

   @7flavor, Windows Management Framework is available for XP x64 and Server 2003 x64.

   MS please for goodness sake make RDP 7 on Server 2003 x86 and XP/Server 2003 x64. Please forward my request to the Terminal Services PM. So many people are asking for Server 2003 and XP x64 support!!!

   It's probably worth specifying that this includes DirectX 11, which is probably what the average user is actually concerned about..

   I wonder if Windows Vista will get its final service back of SP3..... Or will the SP2 just be the final version and thats it.

   Just curious, but shouldn't this be posted under the Windows Vista Blog instead of the Windows 7 Blog?
