Gartner analyst, said people Windows7 praise, coupled with weak economic environment (dual role), may mean that there will be as many as half of the companies decide to stop Vista.
"Those people are now hesitant original may have decided to skip the (Vista)," MichaelSilver said this week three.
This allows Microsoft to lobby companies within those specialized people to upgrade Windows work more difficult. Microsoft do not need to discourage business directly from XP to upgrade to Windows7 (after all, was once considered an upgrade), but they made a number of warnings.
"They (on Windows7) the excitement level was just unbelievable," a senior director of Microsoft's Windows sector GavriellaSchuster said. "We are trying to get relaxed atmosphere ... ... and they have now is a rational."

MichaelSilver said that by 2012, many software vendors will give up on XP's support, especially their latest products.
In general, Microsoft has insisted that companies should be prepared to configure Vista as planned. "Continue your actions," Schuster said.
He added that companies that turn to Vista will find that in the future to upgrade to these machines is very convenient when Windows7.
Addition to many of the early compatibility problems and other problems are being solved one by one, outside, GavriellaSchuster pointed out that many companies now find themselves supporting the number of machines is very much Vista?? This point and has just released the software when the situation very the same.
