Perhaps the belief on the part of Michael Dell and other PC hardware vendors that there is pent-up demand for new PCs isn't just them trying to sell their wares. Two new analysts' reports seem to back up their statements.
According to a worldwide survey by Information Technology Intelligence and Sunbelt Software of 1,500 IT decision makers released Monday, 49 percent said they will migrate to Windows 7 within a year of Thursday's formal launch.
An additional 11 percent said they will wait for the first service pack before adopting Windows 7. However, only 40 percent say they have no current plans to migrate to the new system, according to ITIC Principal Analyst Laura DiDio, who authored the study.
