Microsoft: Small businesses start to eye Windows 7
C|Net | at | by Mike
After eschewing Windows Vista, small businesses are starting to consider moving away from Windows XP, Microsoft Vice President Brad Brooks said in an interview on Tuesday.
"Windows Vista was a generation of the operating system that was passed up by small businesses; they stayed with XP," Brooks said. "We're seeing a lot of trends at retail that are telling us small businesses are starting to come back in the marketplace."
In particular, Brooks said that office and electronics retailers are starting to stock more PCs with the professional version of Windows 7. "That's a good early indicator for us."
