Submission + - Intel is not using Vista on its PC's (nytimes.com)
phoenix_nz writes: Time for another round of Vista bashing everyone! Intel will apparently not be rolling out Windows Vista for its 80,000 employees.
The New York Times (http://bits.blogs.nytimes.com/2008/06/25/et-tu-intel/index.html?ref=technology) and El Reg (http://www.reghardware.co.uk/2008/06/26/intel_says_no_to_vista/) have information from an 'unnamed Insider' that, apart from "certain departments," Intel will not be installing the new Windows on their hardware. El Reg is quick to quip that "certain departments" are most likely those "charged with writing Vista drivers for Intel's various chip technologies."
Its not all bad news for Microsoft though. FTA: "Could Intel change its mind? Quite possibly. Microsoft's chief executive, Steven Ballmer, has few equals as a forceful, persuasive salesman, and he and Paul Otellini, Intel's chief executive, meet regularly."
Looks like another nail in the coffin for Vista from my side of the fence though.
