      ....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
  • ...3 more annotations...
  • "If you are on XP, Windows 7 isn't going to solve a lot of Vista's migration problems," says Brett Waldman, a research analyst for IDC. "Going from Vista to Windows 7 should be a much easier transition than XP to 7."
  • The predominant migration questions among those coming off XP are "when" and "how."
  • "What we are saying is that by the end of 2012 you should be off XP," says Michael Silver, vice president and research director at Gartner

      ...that is off XP by 2012... but not necessrily onto W7 at that time.

  • 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

      ...and this doesn't send a message about the platform component of architecture to MSFT?
  • running XP as a primary operating system opens a system up to security ills

      ...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"...

W7 negative

shared by John Lundin on 21 Aug 09 - Cached
  • 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.

      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!
