We are a small shop, currently 75% Vista 25% XP. We will be replacing most of the XP Machines in the next 60 days with Windows 7. Some of the new PC's are already ordered and should be in right around the time Win 7 is available for download. I have run Win 7 in a Virtual PC for quite a while now, and we have had other Physical Windows 7 PC's off and on for the last several months. Currently the last of those had to be wiped and loaded for another use and now we are just waiting. The only problems we have found with Win 7 were the same problems we had with Vista, 32 or 64-bit since we still have a few 16-bit apps that are run. And Drivers for Printers are always an issue. However the printers did not seem to be as much of an issue, as Win 7 used the Vista Drivers we had in all cases.

Allow Vista for systems researchers buy on their own. Movie to win7 for our rollouts after evaluating the release version. We are skipping Vista as a standard desktop. -sc > -----Original Message----- > From: Peter van Houten [mailto:[email protected]] > Sent: Friday, July 24, 2009 10:45 AM > To: NT System Admin Issues > Subject: Windows 7 edition comparison > > With the impending move of the Windows world to version 7, I thought it > would be prudent for the list to discuss this.
