Businesses not in a rush to move to Windows 7

[Steve]

Thanks good read. What's always puzzled me is why the OS should be put forward as the showcase of any computer system. I know the roll it plays but surely it should be as unobtrusive  as possible,  after all  it's the hardware and role specific software that gets the job done not the OS. I have no wish to get excited about this OS or that I just want it to shut up keep quiet and let me work without interruption.

As for downgrading a Vista-capable PC to XP, that's like kicking yourself in the nuts! 

No, it's like stroking yourself on the nuts.

Far from it, when you have not got time to "play" with a new system, you will go for one you know and trust to get the work done. I played with Vista over the next few months, and I quite like it, but I dont trust it enough to totally rely on it.

I think that's at the heart of an issue. If a new OS fundamentally changes how we do things, it slows us down. I tend to resist such change unless I can see an end result that will benefit me, and with Vista, that simply didn't happen.

I actually think that Vista is more logical. It's a big learning curve as it's so different to XP, but the changes are good. As I say, its the performance that lets it down.
