Time To Dump XP?

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the wasn't-that-ship-date dept.

An anonymous reader writes "Gartner is saying it's time to plan your migration now (if you havent already done it). I for one know my company still has loads of users still on XP, citing training costs (time and money) rather than software license fees. Is my company alone in wanting to stay in the 1990s or is Windows 7 the way forward?"

    90's? XP was release in 2001 But I do agree it's time to move on from it for most companies. My company has begun testing for a deployment of Windows 7, migrating from XP.

      What a fantastic reason for upgrading to Windows 7. I congratulate you on your good sense sir - you have convinced me of the financial and technical reasons for the upgrade, and I will go out and buy a copy at once!

    Why is the first post modded Redundant? It could be a lot of things, but Redundant seems to be a 100% inaccurate mod.

    Generally when something is so obvious it doesn't need to be said; yet someone says it anyway, it will get modded redundant.
