Busting Windows Vista myths

I'm at a Microsoft Partner office today where the team are talking to customers about Windows Vista. There was a customer on the phone earlier who said he didn't want to upgrade to Vista because of the following myths:

“I can’t manage Exchange Server 2007 using Windows Vista”
- Not true, you can setup the management tools on Vista with no problems. Here’s how:
- To install the Windows Vista operating system prerequisites for the Exchange management tools
- - Download Windows PowerShell for Windows Vista from How to Download Windows PowerShell 1.0.
  - Run the installation package to install Windows PowerShell.
  - From the Start menu, open the Windows Vista Control Panel and then open the Programs and Features applet.
  - In the Tasks area, click Turn Windows features on or off.
  - Expand Internet Information Services, expand Web Management Tools, and then expand IIS 6 Management Compatibility.
  - Select the checkboxes for IIS 6 Management Console and IIS 6 Metabase and IIS 6 configuration compatibility, and then click OK.
“I can’t manage my blackberry devices on Windows Vista”
- Have you tried Windows Mobile? :-)
