Windows XP to Windows 7: It's Going to Be a Bumpy Ride - Columns by PC Magazine - 0 views

    • John Lundin
       
      NO upgrade path from XP to W7???...and this is supposed to encourage XP users to upgrade to W7? It really gives those organizations looking at other OSes the time and motivation to switch to LINUX.
  • XP may be an old OS but it's widely used. Consumers, in particular, will be squeamish about installing a completely new OS. I think the word of mouth about Win 7 is so good—and rightly so—that users will finally want to upgrade. However, when they hear that they have to replace their operating system and, ostensibly, rebuild their relatively new PCs, they could balk.

      The users that have the W7 upgrade option from XP (lose everything and install a new OS) *will* balk at the option!
  • Microsoft is also ignoring the countless businesses that stuck with XP

  • My IT department, like so many others, wanted nothing to do with Vista, or the headaches they assumed they'd encounter. Microsoft needs companies to feel comfortable about switching to Win 7. If they can't upgrade from the OS most are using, they'll wait, too.
  • this Microsoft strategy will certainly scare off many XP users who were considering an upgrade
  • wondering why they'd do anything to harm its chances in the marketplace

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

  • 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
       
      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.

  • XP Mode is likely a one- to two-year Band-Aid.

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