Title: Re: windows 7 for £30 Post by: [email protected] on Friday, September 18, 2009, 08:59:13 You are right in saying that most companies haven't upgraded to Vista from XP becasue of its perception, but Microsoft are forcing thier hand by withdrawing support for XP, so the coice will be Vista or Windows 7.
Because Vista has a bad reputation (not justified in my oppinion), most companies are looking at skipping it and going to 7, but will sait until SP1 is available. Title: Re: windows 7 for £30 Post by: Sippo on Friday, September 18, 2009, 09:10:09 XP is too stable to move. There's enough resources out there if MS remove any support.

Windows 7 Pro & ultimate has a built in feature to allow you to run XP programmes http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windows-7/features/windows-xp-mode.aspx |
