Now they've lost their edge and many businesses still have XP and refuse to upgrade it seems. You might like the new Windows and fantasy stuff but I don't :( When they put fading Windows in it then it annoyed me!

Due to XP support being dropped, a lot of business' and schools are now working towards Windows 7. The only issue stopping some is compatibility but that will be resolved within the next few months I imagine.

They've made plenty of home and business versions of their OS over the years so your comment is invalid. You may want to think about what you say, can see this conversation steering away from "post your desktop" to "argue about why operating systems were created" ;)

I'd say over 90% of places use windows 7 now, we're slowly phasing it out at where I work with new departments getting rebuilds each week

You don't pay for service packs on OS X.

You've missed my point. I mean as in an incremental upgrade (which lets be honest, is what Apple has been releasing annually for £15-25 a pop) - Microsoft have now followed here, although they will obviously start charging for it too.

XP was a stable OS. Vista was awful by any standards. From what I gather, the fact that Windows 7 is now in its most developed, bug free stage of life, it can be safely adopted around the country and by official places like schools, government buildings, banks and whatever else. I'd advise looking up facts and learning before coming and posting on a public forum before your rep goes down any further than it has (looking at the grey box) and make a fool of yourself.

My point exactly. The only reason there wasn't an overnight switch is because software needs to be updated for Windows 7 :)

Don't care about rep and it's not grey. It's hidden
