My recommendation o Think carefully before you install Vista in production environments n n Check whether all the packages you use will work with it New machines may come with Vista anyway o By all means install it on a spare machine for testing and learning so you are ready to support people who come with personal machines with vista installed o Watch the WIKI: https: //wiki. oucs. ox. ac. uk/itss/Windows_Vista Tony Brett, OUCS 36
