I work for a reasonably large company that is now in the middle of transitioning all its Windows XP PCs to Windows 7. I imagine that it's the same for many businesses that support a large population. Windows 8 represents a larger retraining burden and hasn't been around long enough for the IT support to be comfortable with it. This report doesn't surprise me at all.


Yep, same here. I expect a massive surge in Win7 adoption over the next few months. Remember that Win7 (and Win7 only) ships with XP Mode - the perfect last ditch solution for people with legacy apps or hardware that won't run any other way. So it's an incredibly attractive solution for anyone stuck with a gazillion WinXP boxes to upgrade.
