The Black Box

[Chris McConnel]

I was reading an article that said only 10% of businesses have upgraded to XP.

I wonder if the registeration process has them holding back.

Or maybe they are still steamed over Microsoft's licensing plan last year, that forced them into expensive long term contracts, whether they upgraded their software or not.

I was at Staples, and was amazed how much they want for Office XP. Wow, $400 for the basic office, that does little more then Office 97, which i use now.


"Recent research from desktop systems management vendor On Technology indicated that a quarter of businesses have not migrated any of their desktops to Windows XP, while only 11% of companies have completed a migration to Windows XP."
