Yeah, they kind of have a built-in market for that one

Intel's chief sales and marketing officer predicts businesses and consumers will move to upcoming Windows 7 at a much faster rate than Vista...

Like, for example, everybody on the entire planet who actually bought Vista or a computer with Vista installed is already standing in line to snap a copy up.

On the other hand...

An InformationWeek Analytics survey of businesses found many of them in no rush to upgrade to Windows 7. Fully 42% of the more than 1,400 business technology professionals surveyed said Microsoft ending of support for XP was the biggest reason to migrate. Only 18% said it was because of new features, and a third said their companies had no plans to deploy Windows 7 at this time.

...not so much enthusiasm there.

I would love to see the stats on how many businesses have migrated to Office 2007. Not too many, I'm guessing, talk about your e normous training cost.
