BINGO!
We have been running Windows 7 in our lab for quite some time. There is nothing really outstanding or beneficial that would prompt us to upgrade our installed client base. Is it new? Yes. Is it different? Yes. Is it better? We haven't found anything substantial yet.
I've been doing this for a long time. It used to be a question of "When" you would upgrade to a new Windows OS for the clients. Now it has become a question of "If". We have had the opportunity to question our reliance on Windows and Microsoft products in general. We don't need to move off of XP for now, because it is still supported. However, when the time comes that it is no longer supported, that becomes our compelling reason to move to another client platform. We are actually ready to make that move now.
