  XP Holding Pattern Set To End With Windows 7
Time: 00:17 EST/05:17 GMT | News Source: CRN | Posted By: Kenneth van Surksum

The success of Microsoft's Windows 7 beta test phase has organizations that have been locked in a Windows XP 'holding pattern' looking to jump directly from XP to Windows 7. And now that Microsoft has said it will allow XP customers to buy Windows 7 upgrade media and upgrade licenses, that path is about to get pretty crowded.

But the direct XP-to-Windows 7 upgrade scenario is one that Microsoft probably wanted to avoid. When Microsoft began talking about Windows 7 last year, the software giant said companies that chose to skip Vista entirely would still face migration issues when they moved Windows 7.
