Vista aligned with good IT practice

Shock? Better managed departments handle change better!

If the next big thing was Bananas for every desktop, I would expect that better managed (ie those highlighted as having formal monitoring and therefore, you'd guess, better managed) IT departments would be more aggressive (confident) in their Banana roll-out.
