Well, why should your school upgrade to Windows Vista?

I know i can do my own research but i need reliable sources I emailed Microsoft and got great information from them. I am getting as much information as possible you can never have too much to write a paper. I wanted peoples input as well. I need to do both sides of the argument. I was just looking for reliable sources and i consider this website to be pretty reliable but some people here mistake information needed for doing work for me.

Have a read.
There are a few other topics around here that have other peoples opinions and experiences with Vista.

I appreaciate the help thanks this will really come in handy. It seems to me the best reason to upgrade would be its increased security and as hfcg said it wont be supported by Microsoft in the future. Just out of curiosity when Microsoft was beta testing wasn't it called longhorn?
When i emailed Microsoft this is what they wrote back in case you were interested:
