Vista upgrade will cost you $5,000 per person

JAMES GASKINE reckons an upgrade to Vista will cost your company between $3,250 and $5,000 per user.

Gaskin is a writer at ITworld.com.

A new PC will cost between $1,500-$2,000 he says. What with 256MB of video RAM, 1GB of main RAM, and everything.

Then there's your Vole tax, to avoid product dis-activation.

Then what? Office? A new Exchange server?

Sheesh, it all adds up, he says, here. µ
