>what's the real business drive to upgrade an entire Company to 7?
Sunset dates... I think XP expires in 2014 for support... And sooner than that, you'll run into licensing issues (right now new PCs come with a Vista license but you CAN downgrade to XP instead if you prefer, which most do). I think that loophole stops in 2011... In other words, if you are in a big company, you don't have a choice, you have to switch to either vista (Err) or preferably 7 or lose support/patches and leave yourself open to attacks..
That's a big deal... You need more memory, you need to upgrade tons of legacy apps, most fols don't realize how old some legacy software is for a lot of businesses - we still have to have IE6 for a lot of apps... It'll stimulate the economy for sure!
At home, Mac OS (Snow leopard) all the way...
