Windows 7 Compatibility: Still A Concern For Enterprises?
According to the research firm, Windows 7’s reaches another milestone and market share passes ten percent mark. Since its launch, the operating system breached various milestones. It had reached the 4 percent milestone in just one month; in contrast, Windows Vista took about seven months to reach there.
The Redmond giant, Microsoft Corp has recently announced record revenue of $19.02 billion for the second quarter ended Dec. 31, 2009, which is a jump of 14 percent helped by a rebound in PC sales and Windows 7 operating system. As of January, all Windows versions accounted for about 92% of devices accessing the Web.
Windows 7 Compatibility with enterprises
Despite good initial reviews of the operating system, many organizations are still waiting for Windows 7 Service Pack 1 to resolve all the probable compatibility issues with legacy hardware and software. Microsoft’s Windows 7 is the most secure version from the software giant’s desktop operating system. Also, various research firms also provided their consent to adopt new OS from the software giant.
Market analysts said every time new software arrives in the market, the prime concern for the firms is its compatibility. This is also true with Windows 7, as the SMBs questions about the compatibility with the thousands of Windows-based third-party programs and applications already on the market.
Recently, it is reported that the software giant has prepared the code for the new operating system's first service pack and included various already-issued security patches as well as new bug fixes.
Availability of wide choices
It is suggested that the availability of different versions of Windows 7 may create problem to various companies for adoption. Further, 32-bit and 64-bit versions of Windows 7 have different requirements for the existing system like memory and graphics card configurations.
The systems based on Windows 7 come with Internet Explorer 8, which could not display web pages that are written for IE6. In addition, companies have to invest in relatively new hardware products such as Web cams, printers, and even sound cards.
Microsoft offers discounts
To increase the market share of Windows 7, Microsoft is aiming SMBs clients by providing the new OS and the Office 2007 productivity suite up gradation at half off the suggested retail pricing. However, to avail the offer, customers have to be a part of Microsoft's Open Value Subscription (OVS) program and presently using one of the listed prior versions of those products.
Further, the company is continuously working on free diagnostics programs on its Web site to check for computer compatibility for people using Windows Vista and XP.
Discussion
According to latest survey by a research firm, it is reported that about 8% of the enterprises had already opted for Windows 7, 31% will switch by the first half of 2010 and rest in the second half of 2010. The research report suggests that the enterprise segment is ready to accept the new version of Windows operating system from Microsoft and after the launch of SP1 more organization will switch over to new operating system.
