Just gimme the facts....

Vijay's got a point doesn't he?  :-)

We've been drinking the koolaid... we don't need any more.  We know it works.  But the proof will be in the pudding.  I have a religious belief against putting 5 year old Operating systems on new hardware... it's why I'm putting Server 2008 (admittedly sans Bitlocker) on my new server.  But until the time that my baby at the office goes off warranty.... do I have a compelling reason in a mostly XP, starting to be Vista network that I'm at?

Make no mistake with the migration that's ahead that this will not be a slam dunk sale for existing customers.  It's just like the Vista upgrades.... hardware change outs will drive the sales IMHO.

It can be a slam dunk if you're pushing virtualisation...

"Here, have a box with Win2008 and Win2003. The Win2003 stuff just works and all your old apps are fine, we don't need to do any compatibility tests. We do the nice new stuff on Win2008."

Granted, eggs, one basket, etc, but it shortens deployment, refreshes hardware warranty and provides a growth path.
