Peaches Posted July 13, 2010 Report Share Posted July 13, 2010 Five Reasons It's Time to Switch to Windows 7By Tony Bradley, PC World 1. Hardware Support. 2. Improved Drivers Installation 3.Security. 4. Performance 5. XP Mode Virtualization Granted, moving to Windows 7 may not be cheap for some businesses. Many are running Windows XP on hardware that is more or less obsolete by today's standards, which means upgrading to Windows 7 must include replacing the hardware as well. Windows 7 is not the only solution, though. As I stated up top--companies can simply upgrade from Windows XP SP2 to Windows XP SP3 and still have Microsoft support through 2014. It is also possible to migrate off of Windows XP SP2 by switching to some variation of Linux rather than moving to Windows 7. The XP hardware would most likely support it, but IT admins must also consider the learning curve of adopting a new OS culture--both for the users and for the technicians that have to support the desktop environment.
