Ya baby! Windows Vista is nothing short of the platform of the future. At least until Windows 7 drops in 2010. This is of course, Microsoft's perspective. In the view of the Redmond company, ridding Windows XP for all its got for the next three years, following the introduction of Service Pack 3 by mid 2008, is not the right way to go. Migrating and upgrading to Vista as soon as possible, on the other hand is. And Microsoft is not alone in this. There is an entire ecosystem built around the Redmond company and its Windows operating system

This is why, as a part of the company's view into the integration of Windows Vista into the workplace, a total of eight video testimonials were made available, pointing to the operating system as an indispensable component of any organization. "These videos provide a firsthand account of spokespersons from various Microsoft Corp. partners giving their thoughts on Windows Vista. Comments include what their experience has been like working with Microsoft during the developmental stages, and predictions of how Windows Vista will impact their company," revealed Microsoft describing Windows Vista Partner Video Testimonials.

Brian Bradley, Vice President Business Operations at PC Helps, Brian Nason, Director of Product Marketing at Citrix System, Cathi Allen, Microsoft OEM Specialist at HP, Daniel Woolley, Director of Strategic Alleances with CA, Ian Lucey, Sales Director - Relate Software, Chandran Rajaratnam, Senior Vide President Operations. ASAP Software, Michael Soucie, CEO of Electric Rain and Rob Walton, Manager Strategic Partner Marketing at Symantec all provided video testimonials related to Windows Vista. Walton even went as far as to say that Vista is the definitive platform of the future. You will be able to access all the video here.
