University of Penn. Recommends Against Vista SP1

At least one university liberal enough to accept the deeply flawed and mostly rejected Vista OS is recommending faculty and students stay away from SP1. "University of Pennsylvania tech staffers are advising faculty and students not to upgrade their computers to the new service pack for Microsoft's Windows Vista operating system. The school's Information Systems & Computing department said it will support Vista SP1 on new systems where it's pre-installed, but added that it 'strongly recommends that all other users adopt a "wait and see" attitude,' according to a newly published department bulletin." And CIO magazine doesn't quite go so far as to call on Microsoft to throw away Vista, but it does ask its readers to weigh in on that topic.

Nice operating systems don't go down.

Why stop here?

Why not take it a step further and recommend against Vista?

Leave it to a slashdotter to confuse operating systems and girls.

Vista SP1 Helped Me

Vista SP1 helped me. When I installed it and recieved more driver errors than before, I decided it was time to venture beyond the mac/windows/linux world and into the world of BSD's. I'm so torn between FreeBsd and OpenBsd....now I have both on my server :)

It's that initial "O" that causes confusion.

/. was starting to make sense, so emergency action was taken. Tomorrow: Erris reports on how M$ killed his puppy.

We have seen this, before, right?

[Borommakot_15]

Ah, Windows Vista...

Why didn't they just call it "Windows ME, the next generation"?

I've used finger in an operating system, does that count?

[Vegeta99]

And here at Penn State, we have our 5-minute logon times for Windows Vista Business, and WE LIKE IT!!!

Well, that is, unless you don't drink coffee. I can go to the lab, type in my U/P, hit log in, go grab a coffee and the paper, and be back just in time for the desktop to pop up.
