Corporate PCs are three times more likely to be equipped to run Windows 7 than had been capable of running Windows Vista when the often-maligned OS was released.

Or at least that is what Softchoice, an IT management company, is reporting about the 450,000 corporate PCs it manages.

According to Softchoice, 88 percent of the corporate PCs it has under management meet the minimum system requirements of Windows 7. Of those not yet equipped to run Windows 7, the majority would simply require more RAM and/or bigger hard disks. To run Windows 7, only 1 percent of PCs would require replacement.

I think, at this point, businesses shouldn't even be bothering with Vista if it hasn't already been deployed to production. Windows 7 is built on Vista's platform; if you've already tested all your applications for Vista there's a very good chance it'll work just fine in Windows 7 (not guaranteed, but a whole lot better chance than it was XP to Vista). Additionally, if you've already upgraded your hardware in prep for Vista then you're pretty well ready for Windows 7 because, again, no extreme makeover like what happened between XP and Vista.

Let Vista go, Windows 7 is simply better by virtue of having Vista be a production beta (like 95 was for 98, or 2000 to XP).
