Much of corporate America may be holding off on deploying Windows Vista but many colleges and universities aren't waiting. Spurred on by the be to act up with their prime constituency--students--schools both large and small began supporting or rolling out Vista in time for the new academic year. Moreover many universities have negotiated campuswide licensing agreements that will enable students to get Vista upgrades for as little as $10."We've just kind of had to go with the move," said Sue Workman associate vice president of support at Indiana University. Workman's team handles 20 million help requests per year from the more than 115,000 students and employees at IU's eight campuses and it began supporting Windows Vista last November. Some professors and other workers are asking to stay with Windows XP primarily for application compatibility reasons. Workman said. But she added that one-third of the PCs used by employees and in campus computer labs should be running Vista by year's end as part of IU's rolling three-year system upgrade cycle. The IT department at Temple University issued a memo last January recommending that users not move to Vista at that time. But the Philadelphia-based school plans to start a rollout of the operating system this go for new as well as existing PCs.[ADVERTHERE]Related article:
