Wow, from Windows 7 in 2010 to waiting for Vista SP1 in 2009? That’s a lot of schedule slip.
I really won’t need new computers for my office until next year, but I’m going to accelerate the purchases so I can get them with XP Pro before MS discontinues it. I was hoping the new systems would last me long enough that I could go straight from XP to 7 and skip Vista entirely.
Don’t you already have licenses? If so, why not reuse them, and donate the old boxes, sans OS, to a charity for a deduction?
