  • More often than not in business deployments, one of the first things done with a new PC is to downgrade from Windows Vista to the more popular Windows XP
    • John Lundin

      ...and these would be....?
  • A word of warning: Anyone looking to run Windows 7 XP Mode should make sure that their CPU supports virtualization
  • ...2 more annotations...
  • the systems available today feature CPUs that support AMD-V or Intel VT virtualization
    • John Lundin
       
      ...so buy a new license and buy a new computer... this is getting kinda expensive compared to 'keep my old machine and run my app'...
  • Windows 7 XP Mode, Microsoft is clearly on the right path to reduce the need for Vista or XP on new systems. With some bug fixes and polishing, XP Mode can be a viable alternative to virtualized versions of XP on other platforms

      ...this is beginning to sound like the Intel Itanium processor (remember the x86 virtual mode?)... only on the OS side. This repackage of Vista with is only compelling if there are critical appls that operate under the 'new & improved' platform... so far all I see is the "new"...

  •  
    Today's Business/IT Environment for medium and large corporations can often be characterized as: An IT environment that is highly complex & costly - organizations were spending more and more money extending, enhancing, and maintaining existing IT systems and services Ineffective business alignment - organizations were finding it more and more difficult to keep their increasingly expensive IT systems aligned with business needs and drive the level of innovation required to grow the business

Windows 7 alluring, but XP is the migration X factor - Network World - 0 views

  • Windows 7 will deliver on its promises
    • John Lundin
       
      ...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?

Windows 7 alluring, but XP is the migration X factor - Network World - 0 views

  • Allred is in the process of testing Windows 7, which he says is faster, more stable and seems leaner than Vista.
    • John Lundin
       
      ...but what is the compeling reason to upgrade besides the threat that MSFT will pull support?

    • John Lundin
       
      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!
    • John Lundin
       
      Duh... but what about those running XP going to Linux or OS X... the step to W7 is not quite as steep as the step to Linux, but it is close... and if there is a time to move away from MSFT this is most probably the best opportunity that you will get...
