As a product after the failure of Vista, Windows 7 has achieved great success since its release. Whether it is the consumer market or the enterprise market, both its share and satisfaction are quite outstanding.
According to data provided by Microsoft product manager Gavriella Schuster, Windows 7 has been deployed in more than 65% of enterprises. The list includes some partners like Intel and Dell, and more large enterprises have expressed their desire to deploy Windows 7. This is a good phenomenon that has not been seen since the release of Vista.
The smooth deployment of Windows 7 will bring about the same problem as XP, that is, how to get customers to pay for the next generation product after it becomes part of the stable architecture of the enterprise?
Microsoft has its own considerations. The next step for their Windows enterprise platform will be to use virtualization technology extensively to reduce the dependence of data and applications on local hardware. In other words, large-scale deployment and dependence on hardware-based upgrades are no longer mainstream, but is a destructive proposition.
