As we gaze toward the vista of 2007, we find our e-mail inundated with IT predictions.

With fanfare, Microsoft Corp. will garner headline early in the year as it realeases its Vista operating system. The release splash will give way to headlines that enterprises are following through on comments from wary IT administratrors are waiting to upgrade. Then will come the security-risk headlines, followed no doubt by the patch headlines. No doubt, this will keep the LANSA support people very busy trying to keep up with all the changes from Microsoft.
