As companies begin to haul themselves out of the economic recession, IT spending looks all-set to increase. According to research firm Forrester, major corporate PC upgrades are scheduled for the next 12 to 18 months. This will mean many organisations will finally allow themselves to introduce new operating systems, productivity suites, browsers and applications.
This is set to lead to a major leap in the use of Microsoft's latest OS offering - Windows 7. Forrester predicts that IT managers will begin their refresh cycles by mid-to-late 2010. This in turn will eventually lead to wide adoption of Windows 7.
Windows 7 has already proven to be a success - with a quick pace of adoption. Forrester reports that, although it was only released in October 2009, Windows 7 is already operating 7% of corporate PCs. This is a level that Windows Vista did not reach until almost a year after its release.
Since the day Windows 7 was released, Windows XP usage has dropped by 7% to 75%. Vista has remained at 12%.
