Upgrading to Windows 7 is not Fun for Everybody
By Alexis • Feb 16th, 2009 • Category: Industry NewsWindows 7 is the talk of the town these days. This new iteration of the Windows client is creating lots of buzz in the computing sector and promises to offer enhanced performance and a unique user interface as compared to its old cousins, Windows XP and Vista. The developer Microsoft also claims that the new Windows will be light weight with regards to system’s resource usage. The company, however, has not unveiled the final launch date of the software nor its price.
It is definite that the Windows 7 will come with amazing features but is it really fun to get your system upgraded. For most of the Windows Vista users (64 bit version) it is because they have to pay a marginal cost to shift to Windows 7. They can simply migrate their data (provided they have 9GB of free hard disk space) to the new OS platform and it’s all done. The Vista users will have basically three major upgrade options:
• Microsoft Vista Home Premium to Windows 7 Home Premium
• Microsoft Vista Business to Windows 7 Professional
• Microsoft Vista Ultimate to Windows 7 Ultimate
But when it comes to Windows XP (which the majority of users prefer) upgrading to Windows 7 means a clean installation from scratch and spending huge amount to get a whole new copy of Windows 7. In enterprises having lots of clients running on XP the upgrade will become more hectic because before accepting the Window 7 as the in house software detailed testing have to be done to confirm the compatibility of the new OS and the applications used by the organisation’s users.
