Yes Space Monkey I'm serious most plants run on Windows server for 95% of the apps the use.

@nemaroller, Sounds like you would then depend more on the user runing IE 7 then.


I have been running Vista for 2 months now and I havent come across any real bugs. Just the annoying UAC security feature.

Office 2007 is great. No bugs what so ever.

We test against IE7, IE6, Firefox, and Safari. Since most of the sites stayed away from CSS and use a table layout, they most all look similiar in different browsers.

Since IE7 works on XP, there is no relevant (productivity, technical, or financial) reason to upgrade to a spanking new Microsoft OS for web development.

My end concerns itself more with the evolving battle over web 2.0 platforms, and who will win that battle - Microsoft's WPF plug-in or Adobe's Apollo (or Flex 2.0 via Flash player) . Right now, I'm hedging on Adobe since they exist on all non-Windows platforms as well.

Here's an example of the Flex platform (runs with CF as the backend but does not matter what server side technology you use (Java, CF, or .NET)
