Windows 7, just two months on the market, is accelerating the pace of corporate computer buying, market research firm ChangeWave said.
Part of the reason may be that 93% of the IT professionals polled said that their company is satisfied with the new operating system, a one percentage point increase over a similar survey in July.
The results of ChangeWave's November poll of more than 1,700 U.S. corporate IT buyers wasn't a total surprise. "Previous ChangeWave surveys found companies deferring their PC purchases in anticipation of Windows 7," said director of research Paul Carton and researcher Adam Golub in an entry to the ChangeWave blog Tuesday. "The latest results show the opposite now occurring."

Windows 7 works perfectly for us in a huge corporate domain. Vista was a disaster; it would not work in the domain correctly. Microsoft patched and patched and patched, we never got it to work correctly. Vista did not work on 70% of our current hardware. We have not upgraded too much of our hardware due to the recession and so far Windows 7 is working on all hardware without any issues.
