Hot on the heels of our previous story outlining the fiasco that Vista's release has been, TechRepublic's Jason Hiner predicts that Microsoft is aware of its blunder and will respond by making a release of Windows 7 ahead of schedule (primarily by overhauling Vista and calling it Windows 7, it seems) in order to encourage its enterprise clients to upgrade directly from XP to Windows 7.

I can confirm that part with the massive company migrating from Windows 2000 to XP/Server 2008. Same here. Things move slowly and money for these kind of investment is not as readily available anymore. Not because there is a drastic budget cut, but simple because the IT-managers don't care to justify this investment of time and money while things are running smoothly (and with some team admins silently moving to Debian with obvious success).
