Later this week, I will post about Windows Vista's readiness for personal or corporate use, based on the submitted comments. While I am fairly upbeat about Windows Vista, there are several troublesome deficiencies, such as supporting applications, hardware drivers and missing pieces. Example of the latter: Microsoft heavily touted RAW camera support in Vista, but for my Nikon cameras the necessary files aren't available.
Apple released first version of Mac OS X in March 2001. But the operating system really wasn't ready until Mac OS X 10.1, which released in September of that year. I'm thinking Vista, more than either Windows 2000 or XP, won't be really ready until Service Pack 1. Based on analyst and channel interviews, business deployment plans already track for a timetable consistent with Windows Vista Service Pack 1's last publicly known release date.
Vista readiness is crucial to businesses considering deployment. If you've used the operating system, please tell us what you think about it and its readiness or your organization's readiness to deploy.
