60 percent of companies will skip Windows 7

A recent poll suggests that 60 per cent of companies have no current plans to update to Windows 7 – which could prove to be very concerning for Microsoft.
A report from Reuters says that a survey conducted by ScriptLogic on 1,000 companies indicates that many of them will not be upgrading to Vista’s successor.
The main reason behind these figures is the current financial climate, meaning that many companies do not have the resources required to switch to a new operating system.
Apparently, ScriptLogic sent out 20,000 surveys to IT admins and found that 60 per cent of respondents had no intentions of upgrading, with 34 per cent planning to upgrade by the end of 2010 and only 5.4 per cent planning to install by the end of this year.
Microsoft has already suffered due to the fact that Vista did not achieve the same wow factor to its enterprise customers that XP did, even being shunned by Intel who are a close partner with Microsoft.
