Microsoft Beginning to Push Enterprises Towards Win 7

*johnrr6* · 09-15-2009, 06:54 AM

You knew it was coming......51 million existing enterprise customers already have Windows 7 (they got it early this month)----or at least they got the rights to load it. And now Microsoft is anxious for customers to begin converting over from a largely Windows XP installed enterprise base as a vast majority skipped the Vista parade.

Why?? Licensing MONEY for the future!. 51 million is......a lot. The company has rolled out examples of city's and organizations that are on the leading edge of conversion with data showing improvements and cost savings for organizations who take the plunge. Absent from this data (suprisingly) are examples of how well Windows 7 will run on older, existing hardware which is a huge consideration for businesses and schools.

The Windows 7 bandwagon is about to start up. Odds are that it will be a huge success after Enterprise basically skipped Vista.

Micro$oft is currently being led by a CEO who is really nothing more than a marketeer/salesman. The goal of that salesman is to make sales and get commissions. Money, that's what M$ gets and wants. Is there anything that the customer gets other than lost time installing and learning; and lost money on new equipment and software and employee wages paid to figure it all out so that they can end up doing the same thing they do already.

I'll bet that any current system installed at an enterprise already quickly does everything that the customer needs and wants a system to do!

I wonder what would happen if M$ got a new CEO leader who really would develope and advance an operating system rather than just change the color and try to sell it to you pretending it's all new and needed.

M$ needs to learn that once you improve a system to possess all the features that the customer would want than STOP BOTHERING THE CUSTOMER! There's NOTHING ELSE TO DO! So instead M$ corporation has mutated into the modern equivilent of a snake oil salesman/hustler.
