How to Successfully Implement Windows Vista

If you missed joining us at our Chicago event, then you missed a great discussion among the event participants about how to successfully deploy Windows Vista.

Participants agreed that the key to a successful operating system deployment is to perform due diligence prior to the upgrade and review both existing hardware and software.  They noted:

  • Ensure that all PC hardware meets the minimum system requirements.
  • Make any needed PC hardware upgrades are completed prior to the launch.
  • Obtain needed drivers for the various peripherals and verify that all existing hardware is Vista compatible.
  • Check that existing software is Vista compliant—and don't forget any software that is used by internal departments—no matter how few the number of users!

Operating system deployments can be challenging, but they don't have to be.  A little homework can make the deployment run smoothly, and make you a hero!
