Story: Ten reasons Windows 7 could flop
What about the gamers?
It's a fact that Vista is up to 22% slower than XP and although Win 7 feels snappier is still the same 22% slower than XP.
This slow down is glaringly apparent to the gamers out there. A game that run at 30fps under XP becomes unplayable under Win 7 - fact.
Then there's businesses. One of my clients is a construction company with 10 workstations and a server 2003 box. Like every other construction company in the UK, they are struggling in this economic downturn and their margins are being squeezed mercilessly. They are not considering upgrading to Win 7 at this time. In fact, of the dozen or so clients I work with NONE are considering spending £150 per station for the new OS.
In my opinion Microsoft well and truly dropped the ball with Vista and this will almost certainly have a knock on effect with Win 7.
