Consumers are in a frenzy about Windows 7. Many are thankful that Windows Vista is going out of style already. Consumers are highly anticipating the release of Windows 7 after the Windows Vista fell flat on its face after its debut. Even though it has become a stable operating system, PC users are still ignoring Vista including businesses. However how many businesses will actually welcome Windows 7?
There have been many websites that have been predicting the downfall of Windows 7 before it has even been released. These studies suggested that this was because IT administrators prefer Windows XP and many businesses are worried about the credibility of Windows 7.
In a study done by Dimensional Research, Windows 7 is expected to be the biggest operating system for businesses. In fact their study shows that 46% of businesses are planning on upgrading or starting to upgrade before the end of the year and 80% of IT professionals plan to do it within 36 months! If you’re not sure how big of a jump this is then you should know within the first year of XP’s release it only had 10% of the market share and only about 25% after two years.
Another study backs this up by asking the IT decision makers of 80 companies when they were planning on upgrade or if. These companies all have more than 1000 employees mind you. The results showed that half of them planned to upgrade to Windows 7 when it launches while 46% plan to do it by the end of the year. Also 55% of the companies plan to do what are known as system wide upgrades rather than simply upgrading when they need new PCs.
If these projections hold true then not only will Windows 7 be the most successful operating system with businesses at its debut, but it will also be a breathtaking record. The fact that so many IT professionals are willing to upgrade to Windows 7 shortly after it releases not only shows the potential for the operating system but the stability of it.

One of the most practical and cost-effective ways to speed up your PC is by gradually upgrading its parts. The first thing that usually goes whenever your computer slows down is the motherboard. Storage issues also pop up after a year, forcing you to add another one that’s bigger and faster.
In case you haven’t noticed, PC makers are constantly changing the specs of their units. I once checked a model that I planned to buy at a local computer shop. I waited for about a couple of months before I decided to adopt it and make it my new pet (or life partner). However, to my astonishment, the salesperson told me that the apple (no, it wasn’t a Mac) of my eyes has been plucked out of their shelves as a new model had already been released by its manufacturer.
Is there such a thing as a “memory overload” in PCs?
One’s marriage to a computer only lasts for about 2-3 years on the average. The union gets rocky after a year, with the human spouse beginning to complain that his or her electronic partner is not as sweet and reliable as it was when they first tied the knot. By the second year, a divorce is already in the works. Depending on how patient the human husband or wife is, the tie is usually severed by the third year.
Believe it or not, there are people who actually do not want to install anti-virus programs in their systems. No, they’re not hackers or virus authors. In fact, they’re one of those who really detest malware.
