the economy situation is probably playing a big role in this too. also if something is running fine why change it, for example still many of the banks and airplines use IBM OS/390 operating system that's over 50 years old, with a DOS like interface, but it works for them so why change it... also many banks still run OS/2 on some of the PC Servers, which is an exctint OS lol, never the less it does what it's suppose to, so they keep it running...
until there is actually benefits of moving to a newer windows version there is not point then, at least for the larger companies. I work for a large one(55k employees worldwide)
The time to go through all them and then take all the calls in afterwards of people not knowing wtf they are doing on the new OS is enough to deter anyone from moving forward. There is nothing wrong with windows 7, just not worth spending millions of dollars to upgrade to it
The security in XP is so obsolete they can't afford not to upgrade in my opinion.
In India and neighboring countries, 90% of the companies will still use xp no matter what comes their way. The main reason for this is they are very used to XP and doesn't wanna allow any change.
"akramh:171817", I agreed with you earlier post but after an anaylisys of our suituation 115+ users here are the sums as calculated (would appreciate your comments)....
We are currently mixed (XP pro 32bit and Vista Ult 64bit and Vista 32bit PRO) the costs are as follows....
Cost of the WIN7 packs (we will NOT use upgrades reasons you will be aware of) + Upgardes where required + Installation Cost + Training of users + Loss of Productivity + Downtime (24/7 house).
The amount over the 115 system is approx NZ$3000.00 per system/user.
END RESULT out of busines.

It looks you need some help there. You are telling migrating 115 computers to Seven would cost you about NZ$345 000 (€170 000 or $255 000).
If you are interested, I'm willing to give you an offer of that job. Even if I pay a team from here to there to do the job, you can still save a lot of money and I can make a nice profit.
You are getting some bad and false advice from your consultants. That must be the case; I would not like to think you deliberately gave us wrong figures to make your point.
Sincerely, very sincerely,
Kari
I would go there myself, if I only had the time. It's over 8 years now from my last visit to the beautiful Kiwiland.
The offer is valid. With those figures there is money to make to both parts.
