It's really an improvement. Yes, even over XP. The
multitasking is noticeably improved, and you can
see it in applications what use a lot of threads.
Outlook is one of those applications, and is very
noticeably faster with Windows 7 installed.
Whether the original OS was XP or Vista, pretty
much every system I've installed Win7 on has seen
an improvement.
Study: Businesses start to embrace Windows 7

A new survey shows that businesses are increasingly planning their move to Windows 7, with more than half of those questioned planning to have some machines running the operating system in their corporations by the end of the year.
The survey, conducted of 923 businesses in January, found that 16 percent are already running some Windows 7, with a further 42 percent planning to start their deployment by the end of 2010.
"It is just very positive about Windows 7," said Dimensional Research analyst Diane Hagglund, the study's author. "They are planning to deploy it. They are planning to deploy it fast."
The enthusiasm not only compares favorably with early response to Vista, but also shows that businesses have become more bullish on Windows 7 than they were as recently as nine months ago.
Windows Vice President Brad Brooks said in a recent interview that he is starting to see signs that small businesses want Windows 7. In particular, Brooks pointed to the fact that electronics retailers are stocking more PCs with the professional version of the operating system as opposed to just carrying computers running the Home Premium edition.

I agree with your assesment.
I have noticed that Outlook 2003 moves noticeably faster on Windows 7, including the sending and receiving of larger email attachments.

Of course when you have no choice
For most there is no choice other than the Windows Debauchery so of course they will deploy.
Doesn't make it good or the best, just means more deployment of the same old crap. It's more polish on the Windows Turd.

Of course. The old "they have no choice"
option.
Because we all know that the majority of these companies that you speak of actually desire to switch to a purley Linux environment, but cannot, as they "have no choice".
Is it poosible that they really have "no desire" to switch away from Windows?GuidingLight17th Mar 2010 -
I see plenty of options.....
to choose from to move away from Windows. You are just upset so you say they "have no choice". How about you roll out something else at your company and stop worrying what others will be doing. Start the revolution or whatever you want to call it.

Just relax, this will be the last time they do it.
The era of the windows deployment is fast coming to a halt.

LOL!
Look, we have a brand new troll.
I have allways wondered about one thing:
The most obvious fact to point out is most trolls do not believe a word that they say, so one must ask the question:
What is it these people actually believe, and will we ever see those thoughts expressed here?
Nice to meet you, Great Kahuna, though I imagine the pleasure is all yours.

You just defined yourself because...
... I truly believe everything I wrote while you can hardly say the same and keep a straight face.
The computing landscape is changing fast and windows is being kicked out of it.
Did you know that the windows platform for highly portable devices does not do multitasking? Did you know that windows will not even support Copy/Cut & Paste?
Well... you should!Great Kahuna17th Mar 2010 -
Then more's the pity
As you seem to be in the incredibly small minority with that idea.
I, too, believe everything I post, but then I just view the industry without "anti-MS glasses" so I may tend to see things much more accurately.GuidingLight17th Mar 2010 -
It's better to wear anti-microsoft glasses than anti-reality glasses
at least those will still allow me to go where I need to go and will not make me run into a cliff.Great Kahuna17th Mar 2010 -
But that is the point: I do not need glasses
of any type, as my vision is 20/20 in refernce to techology and it's future.GuidingLight17th Mar 2010 -
That sums it up!
@GuidingLight
You just proved how limited you are, you have no idea what you're missing. I guess that's good, it helps you be happier. My dog is just the same as you, he has no idea what he's missing by being like that but because of that trait he is incredibly happy.Great Kahuna17th Mar 2010 -
Erm.....
at least those will still allow me to go where I need to go and will not make me run into a cliff.
"run into a cliff"?
Hallowed are the Ori17th Mar 2010 -
Yes, "Run into into a cliff"!
What else can you do once you have already fallen?
<aside>Beam him up Scotty</aside>Great Kahuna17th Mar 2010 -
You drive off a cliff.
Or jump off of one.
BTW... why the 'nym change, -3?Hallowed are the Ori17th Mar 2010
