Six out of ten firms will skip Windows 7
,----[ Quote ]
| The firm asked some 1,000 companies about the Windows 7 operating system set
| for release this year, and found that six in ten have no intention of
| upgrading to it. If one thousand responses sounds high to you bear in mind
| that the firm sent out some 20,000 of the time-sucking surveys.

Windows 7: 'It's not you, it's just bad timing'
,----[ Quote ]
| Despite its imminent release, Windows 7 isn't likely to hit business desktops
| any time soon.
|
| A recent silicon.com CIO Jury found that many IT chiefs are putting off the
| migration to Windows 7 until at least 2011 but it's clear from their comments
| that this isn't a rejection of the new OS, but more a question of priorities.

Windows 7: 83% Of Businesses Won't Deploy Next Year
,----[ Quote ]
| The survey, of more than 1,100 IT professionals, is one of the first
| extensive looks at Windows 7's early sales prospects. It found that a
| whopping 83% of enterprises plan to skip the OS in its first year. While the
| business market typically tends toward caution when it comes to new products,
| the figure is nonetheless surprising given that almost no large companies
| migrated to Vista and as a result most have been using XP much longer than
| planned.

|
| The open source Linux OS also could benefit from slow uptake of Windows 7 in
| the enterprise market, as could Google's Android OS -- which some computer
| makers are reportedly testing as a netbook platform. Fifty percent of those
| surveyed by Dimensional Research said they've considered switching to a
| non-Windows OS to avoid Vista or Windows 7
