| Will it be accepted? For those who wonder if it will be widely accepted, if it can be easily managed from a central admin station, you damn well better believe it'll be accepted, and I'll be watching it like a hawk. Give me an OS where I can easily manage all the desktops in my organization, and I'm sold. Right now, I'm stuck with a bunch of computers running Vista Home Basic because that's all we could afford. I've created standard accounts for the users and an admin account for me to do maintenance. That's fine, except that all programs don't get updates when admin isn't logged in, but I don't have time to run around all day making sure everyone has their updates. Yes, I know that some of the versions of Vista for businesses handle central management much better, but I simply don't have the budget to upgrade all those machines. As for switching to Linux...I have enough trouble showing users how to do things in Windows. Many are in a bit of shock moving from XP to Vista.
Just give me something that I can manage centrally without breaking the bank, give me something that's not intimidating to the users, and I'm sold. |

I always love to have more choices but, why would Microsoft just lay down and take this. As soon, if not before, Google comes to market with this I would bet Microsoft will come out with a nice little update that will almost look like a dual boot, and will give users a choice to click on "simple windows" of "full windows" at boot-up. I would think it would be much more comparable with most of the popular apps out there than "Linux based Chrome" program.
That my two cents. I know it's not worth much, but I just don't see Microsoft just sitting back and taking it. |
