According to the NYT Intel will not upgrade their 80,000 employee computers to Vista, at least according to an internal that is making everyone in the IT industry giggle like little girls. The IT staff at Intel found “no compelling case” for adopting Vista and that it will still use Vista in test scenarios in some departments.

What does this mean? Well, it will definitely mean a Microsoft stock hit as Wall Street panics on the news. It also means expect an update “Business Vista” coming soon with special business features like using the XP theme right out of the box.
