  How does this make W7 a better choice than Vista?

With both Windows 7 (the host operating system) and XP (guest) running on a single machine, users will be forced to maintain and patch two operating systems per desktop.

results could either be a perfect storm for Microsoft with major product releases carefully planned to coincide with an important milestone in the IT buyer's upgrade cycle, or a roar that falls on nearly deaf ears and severely deflated corporate wallets

  ...or some architecturally designed combination of new and old. At some point increasing numbers of less sophisticated organizations will opt for a non-MSFT solution that better utilizes the organizational resources.

Speed Test: Windows 7 May Not Be Much Faster Than Vista - PC World - 0 views

shared by John Lundin on 07 May 09 - Cached

One of the major complaints about Windows Vista was the fact that it was consistently slower than Windows XP. If Windows 7 doesn’t significantly improve that situation, it may fail to convince people to move away from Windows XP

  I remain unconvinced... You keep an OS that performs and is reliable and runs your apps...

- John Lundin on 07 May 09
  
  Why is there this great push to run XP apps in W7 XPmode when all apps run fine in XP... Just say "no" to W7 and Vista til there is some important app that won't run in XP !

Most of those currently using Windows XP should also upgrade, to take advantage of Windows 7’s usability, enhanced device support, and other features.

  which already run fine under XP... you have previously made the case that businesses are not excited about the cost and resources to reinvent the OS that runs fine as XP! ...now you summarize the other direction... "flip-flop"

if you’re currently using a Linux distribution or a version of Mac OS X, Windows 7 isn’t going to offer much to get you to switch.
- John Lundin on 21 Aug 09
  
  Duh... but what about the XP to Linux... the step to W7 may not be quite as steep as the step to Linux, but if your business is wanting to move from the MSFT platform, this is probably the best time to do it!

"The first key characteristic of the emergent approach is best summarised as 'architect the lines, not the boxes', which means managing the connections between different parts of the business rather than the actual parts of the business themselves," said Bruce Robertson, research vice president at Gartner. "The second key characteristic is that it models all relationships as interactions via some set of interfaces, which can be completely informal and manual - for example, sending handwritten invitations to a party via postal letters - to highly formal and automated, such as credit-card transactions across the Visa network."
