Quote:
Microsoft's future begins next week. That's when the company ships Windows 7, its latest operating system. If Microsoft stumbles with Windows 7 as it did with Vista, people will start asking whether Microsoft has much of a future at all.

and just like now by that time they will be touting Windows 8...

by the looks of things windows 8 will have a tough hill to climb considering the polish of 7.

TL;DR Version: Companies are too poor from the recession right now to upgrade, but when they recover they will switch to Windows 7.

Screw convincing IT to switch from XP to 7, all MS has to do is quit officially supporting XP. The only reason they supported it this long was because of Vista's driver issues and it not working well on old hardware.

Bull****.

Windows 7 is successful already. Every sane person who has had the pleasure of using it agrees that it's great.
