Vista Upgrades coming
A little less than a month ago, Microsoft released the newest version of Windows—Vista—which comes in a variety of distributions ranging from Home Basic to Ultimate. Academic and Research Computing is currently working with Microsoft to determine the method and nature of the Vista upgrade for Mobile Computing Program participants, who under the campus license agreement, should be entitled to an upgrade.
During March, DotCIO will be offering Mobile Computing Program participants the chance to be involved in a pilot Vista upgrade. This pilot, coupled with DotCIO’s current testing, is intended to verify the Vista-readiness of existing laptops on campus.
For users not in the Mobile Computing Program as well as staff and faculty users, Microsoft is already offering Vista upgrades at a discounted academic rate for qualified users, though DotCIO is advising users to not install Vista this semester and await an upcoming announcement at the end of March. | |
