As a result IT directors will have to dedicate more funds and allocate resources to making sure they ensure their Windows 7 migration schedule stays on track.
"Corporate IT departments typically prefer to migrate PC operating systems via hardware attrition, which means bringing in the new OS as they replace hardware through a normal refresh cycle," said Charles Smulders, managing vice president at Gartner.
