Who is using Vista at school?

[bossman]

I don't think for one minute that industry, universities and colleges are racing to deploy vista just because it is the latest O/S. So with that in mind i am not either.

If it ain't broke don't fix it and when i have fully tested it and am satisfied it will enhance the students T&L then and only then will i deploy.

I would say at least 18 months before seriously thinking about it.

Too little time to test all the software and bits and pieces for this summer so we will do it next year instead.

We may wait a second year depending on cost of the upgrades.

We just had a last minuet change of plan. This current batch of PC’s and the next batch this year all have Vista licences with XP installed. So it’s been decided 1 PC will run Vista as a test to see how children and teachers handle it along with software.

We will not be touching vista for a minimum of 2 years until the R&D project is completed for any possible security constraints etc. We changed to XP in 2004. If and when we do use vista it will most probably be business, without media player etc for basic user interaction.
