I was quoted in an article over at IT Expert Voice that pooled advice from hardened IT Veterans on the process of rolling out a new OS in a business environment. There’s plenty of great advice on the actual act of a rollout — test-test-test, schedule for downtime, etc. — but obviously the timing of the article coincides with the recent release of Windows 7, and is directed at IT folks considering an upgrade.
To that extent, I urge all you IT pros to ignore everything else in the article (wink) and follow my advice, which is to wait.

Good advice… I am still waiting on Vista.
Great move! I told everyone to hold off on Vista for the very same reasons, and it just never reached a point that I felt comfortable recommending it.
I’m already hearing reports of failing installation processes, so my wariness has only increased.
