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).

I work for a very large hardware company in the outsourcing department. Our laptops and main computers run Windows XP. Our company obviously has a subscription and Vista is readily available for download and install any moment we would like to, however, so far almost no one has upgraded, the equipment we're provided is not cutting edge and Vista is a nightmare to run there.
Incredibly, the massive company we support is just migrating from Windows 2000 to 2003/XP. If that's the trend everywhere I don't know how MS will cope with this.
