The slow road to Windows XP

Is your business still running Windows 2000. If so you are not alone.

One of the reasons is that companies are keeping older equipment. In some cases companies have paid for Windows XP licenses and haven't upgraded. In other cases, companies are happy with the operating system and office apps that they have bought and paid for and see little reason for spending more money to upgrade.

I love this quote from the ariticle: "It seems to be taking longer each time" for customers to upgrade, said Michael Cherry, an analyst with Directions on Microsoft.

I personally think the combination of needing higher powered hardware, and the slow economic recovery have made companies reluctant to spend the money and labor resources needed to upgrade. But thats just my guess. Read the article and see what you think.
