Windows 7 survey shows increased IT Pro acceptance
MS-Watch | at | by Mike
A new survey by Dell Kace indicates that 87 percent of responding IT professionals plan on deploying Windows 7. That's drawn from a pool of 993 respondents from North America, Europe and Asia Pacific (including IT hands-on professionals, IT managers and IT executives from a variety of small and large companies). The survey also produced some other findings:
46 percent of those surveyed said they planned to deploy Windows 7 before the release of Service Pack 1.
86 percent "reported concern about software compatibility when migrating to Windows 7."
25 percent expressed "concerns" about Windows 7 performance.
32 percent are "considering alternative operating systems to avoid Windows Vista or Windows 7," apparently down from 50 percent when this same group conducted a similar survey in April 2009.
