Windows XP PRO VS Windows Vista for Business

I run a Small business to business Network consulting firm in New Jersey –Integrated Computer Services, Inc. We specialize in Network Roll-outs and Maintenance. Check us on the web at http://www.icssnj.com/. We receive a large number of calls to replace old workstations and servers and migrate existing data. We sell quite a few Windows XP Workstations. We offer a new business startup service for New Jersey go to http://www.icssnj.com/new_businesses.html for more info.

Anyway, 99% of the time we are recommending Windows XP PRO instead of Windows Vista. Microsoft has finally rid most of the bugs out of XP with its updates and patches. We standardize XP PRO systems for business with Symantec Corporate Edition Antivirus and Windows Defender. We also incorporate the use of a CISCO PIX Firewall to further secure our networks. We rarely see problems when we standardize our networks.

From our experience Vista is loaded with bugs, needs tons of RAM, and is slower. Yes, it does look prettier, but with software compatibility issues and difficulty remotely accessing Windows Vista. Why should we promote it? I realize XP's days are numbered - but Microsoft has not provided us adequate reasons to Promote Windows Vista for Business use.
