SPOTLIGHT: Army skips Windows 7, upgrades to Vista

With Microsoft's Windows 7 to be released in October, and many of its computers using Windows XP, the Army is making an unusual move.

Army officials cited the need to beef up Internet security and standardize its information systems as primary reason for selecting the Vista upgrade. Article
