IT Pro Tips


Windows Vista Adoption

By David Chernicoff

The How (and Why) To Get Going On Windows Vista Adoption article on Microsoft TechNet does a good job of answering the questions that an IT pro would have about getting Windows Vista deployed in their organization. The site breaks the process down into four segments.

 

 

By taking the FAQ approach to the issue, the site does a good job of laying out and explaining the advantages of using Windows Vista and the process of deployment.

 

 

Each FAQ question gets a succinct, to-the-point answer, while additional links to detailed instructions for different parts of the process can be found on each FAQ page.

 

Each of the four segments gets its own Content Library. This library, which is broken into four levels of expertise, allows the IT pro to pick and choose from among additional materials ranging from high-level overview documents to detailed step-by-step tutorials on implementing different features, functions, and tools applicable to each area.

This site and the huge amount of linked documentation really live up to the name, The How (and Why) To Get Going On Windows Vista Adoption. If Vista is in the planning stages at your company, or even if you have already deployed it, a visit to this site and its links is worth your time.

TIP: Keep an eye out for the links to the various "Microsoft Quick Start Guides" that can be found in the content libraries.  These are the documents that let you get up and running fast.
