KACE, a systems management appliance company, announced that their recent survey of IT administrators showed that 60 percent of them have no plans to deploy Vista. That’s almost 10% more turning their backs on Vista then in KACE’s last survey in November 2007. According to the company press release, “42 percent of them said they would consider deployment of alternative operating systems, such as Mac OS and Linux, in order to avoid a migration to Vista.” 11% of Windows users have already decided to switch rather than ‘upgrade’ to Vista. Of that number, 29% plan to changeover to the Mac, followed by 24% to Red Hat Linux, 21% to Ubuntu Linux, and 15% to SUSE Linux. The remainder plan on switching to another version of Linux.If you thought the release of Vista SP 1 would make business IT professionals think more kindly about Vista, think again. 92 percent of those surveyed said “the release of Vista Service Pack 1 has not changed their plans for Vista deployment.” Indeed, according to the report, “only 2% of participants responded that SP1 had accelerated their Vista adoption plans and 3% reported that SP1 had actually delayed their plans for Vista adoption.”
