Windows Operating System Platforms

Windows XP Professional, Windows Vista, Windows Server 2003, Windows Server 2008

Key Benefits of New Platforms

• You get the latest reliable offering from Microsoft and can get help and a maintenance contract.
• The newer offerings have better scalability built-in.
• Windows platforms provide a robust networking infrastructure.
• Windows Server editions provide a reasonable and affordable security platform, out-of-the-box.
• Each newer release offers more reliability than its predecessors but comes at a cost - newer Windows releases do not support all of the hardware and add-ons that their predecessors did  but at the same time they support newer devices.  Prepare for a migration and upgrade by checking the prerequisites of your hardware, application, OS, and anything else in the application chain.
• The newer versions may come with a higher entry price, but your total cost of ownership decreases with time and use.

Words of wisdom:  No matter which platform you choose, remember to add anti-virus and firewall protection to your environment.  Add good personal firewall protection  to each system regardless of a corporate perimeter firewall to increase your level of protection.  Use strong passwords and update your virus signatures daily using the automated update engines.
