ZDNet has posted an impressive whitepaper on the ROI of Windows Vista early adopters which ranges between 81% - 104% for midsize organizations.
In their description:
- Depending upon the deployment method chosen, Windows Vista ROI can be very strong–ranging from 81% to 104% for midsize organizations.
- With widespread application availability, the release of Service Pack 1, and more than half of all US companies either running or evaluating it, Windows Vista has entered the mainstream adoption phase. Midsize companies should plan to begin deploying Windows Vista during their next PC refresh cycle.
- Delaying the Windows Vista upgrade process can result in deployment costs that are twice as high asthose organizations using a timely refresh-based upgrade, while foregoing the productivity benefits of Windows Vista. Running an outdated operating system may result in additional risks and costs as software suppliers drop application support, drivers for new hardware become unavailable, and PC vendors no longer ship the prior operating system pre-loaded.
In can also be noted that Windows Vista have 60% fewer malware infections than Windows XP SP2 PCs.
You can view the whitepaper here. To note; the news is from ZDNet France and I am not sure if the whitepaper is in English or note. I am yet to download the whitepaper.
