Windows 7 Likely to Get Chilly Reception at Enterprise Door
Microsoft has a higher mountain to climb to soften up enterprises on Windows 7 adoption that it did a few years ago. After the Vista train wreck, many are content to keep on getting by with Windows XP — at least, until their IT departments become convinced that the new OS will live up to its promise.
Unless they are high-tech firms themselves, companies tend to have conservative IT strategies, Philadelphia-based marketing 
consultant Scott Testa told the E-Commerce Times. “Usually, they like to wait a little while to make sure the kinks have been worked out — and then start adopting it.”
At the very least, he said, most companies will want to wait for the first service pack.
Microsoft suffered a black eye with the Vista rollout, he noted, which exacerbated those conservative tendencies.
Furthermore, “XP still fills the needs for most organizations,” said Testa.

Great site, I now have you bookmarked to come back again.
Scott:
So, do you think Windows 7 is better than XP? Is there a reason to risk “everything” to do an upgrade?
I checked out Vista a couple of times early on, and just noted all the additional memory each of my computers would need just to run it., so I decided against it from the beginning.
Not sure why Windows 7 would be better. Sounds like you agree too, right?

for the vast majority of users xp is fine . . .as time goes on operating systems are becoming less important . . . based on the preliminary pricing of Windows 7. . you may see more and more people turn to open source OS’s such as Linux and Android for the desktop
