  • free of charge to Windows 7 Professional, Enterprise and Ultimate users

      ...so, it is not really "free"... you gotta have a top tier W7 edition... again this hits the budget-minded XP user hard.
  • Even hardware that works with older operating systems and won't work with Windows 7 will work with Windows XP mode. It's a major advancement
    • John Lundin
      John Lundin on 02 Jun 09
       
      ...let me see if I have this right... the XP mode will run on hardware that W7 won't run on... then how the hell do you install W7 to get the XP mode?
  • With XP Mode installed, users will never need to worry about the compatibility of their software or accessories again -- everything will work.

      will work... provided you have a PC with the horsepower to run both W7 and XP mode... so will just leaving XP as your OS.

  • application released for a Windows operating system over the past decade will work with Windows 7

      John Lundin on 02 Jun 09
       
      ...but not every PC manufactured in the past decade will be able to run W7... so budget wise, I gotta buy W7 *and* a new PC to run my XP apps. I don't see a need to change (other than to build MSFT's coffers... and that is not one of my business objectives).

  • Microsoft for its part told XP users last month (MAY) that if they are just starting to test Vista that they should switch to Windows 7.

      How does this make W7 a better choice than Vista?
  • generally happy.
    • John Lundin
      John Lundin on 29 May 09
       
      maybe happy, but much poorer because of the need to update all their XP apps and retire all the older PCs that do not have the horsepower....
  • 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.
  • ...1 more annotation...
  • XP Mode is likely a one- to two-year Band-Aid.

  • 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
    • John Lundin

      ...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.

      ...well, *more* honest maybe... but not 'brutally' honest.

  • how long it will take to get all their XP desktops to Windows 7 before XP support runs out or before application vendors quit producing XP versions of upgrades or new software

      ....or even after MSFT pulls support of XP (after all the XP mode is XP SP3... and they will have to support that mode while W7 is operational)...
  • Gartner predicts that more than half of the corporate Windows user-base is skipping Vista and aiming at Windows 7
  • it doesn't mean they will avoid the application compatibility issues that gave Vista a black eye

      ...what promises? Rather than test W7 I am quite likely to test Ubuntu or the like... If I gotta change, I might as well move to a platform that will give me both flexibility and support on hardware I already own!... Comments?

      ...but what is the compeling reason to upgrade besides the threat that MSFT will pull support?
  • a Vista migration would have meant upgrading 60% of his hardware, something he was not prepared to do. With Windows 7 and its smaller footprint, the majority of his hardware is already compatible.
