Opinion: is hurdling over Vista straight to Windows 7 wise?
written by Ciro - October 27, 2008 05:00

A blog has been published which appeals to a wide range of folks, namely those who are skipping Vista and waiting for Windows 7 (you know who you are!). More here.

With more and more information about Windows 7 coming out almost daily, I’m getting increasing numbers of emails from people wanting my advice on whether they should skip Vista and hold out for Windows 7 or make the plunge now and make plans relating to “7″ once the OS is out.

Having discussed this issue with several people I’ve come to a conclusion that it’s far too early to make any plans relating to Windows 7 and your OS migration plans should be based solely on Vista in the here and now and not on what Windows 7 might or might not bring.
