Australian technology writers have likened Microsoft's latest computer upgrade, Microsoft Vista, to a forklift upgrade.

Authors of an Australian technology magazine article have recommended computer users perform a "forklift upgrade" and migrate to Microsoft's Vista, as opposed to "more gradual transitions", saying full-scale "forklift" upgrades "cut the number of systems that have to be supported at any one time" and were "usually better planned and executed than projects done over a long period". The authors especially recommended the upgrades for "large fleets" of desktop systems as, "with any large fleet, it is a good time to clean the slate and upgrade other systems as well".

Technology publication Australian IT said Microsoft's new "forklift" package had "underwhelmed" users.
