Only 33% of surveyed companies plan to move to Windows 8


A new study by Forrester Research (www.forrester.com) -- as reported by Social Barrel (http://macte.ch/kFtOE) -- shows that only 33% of companies who responded to their new survey have plans to move to Windows 8, Microsoft’s latest upgrade of its operating system.

Ten percent of the respondents have no intention at all to upgrade. The remaining 40% of the survey respondents stated that they have no plans of upgrading to Windows 8 yet.

"Social Barrel" says the percentage decline is "massive" in comparison with companies that intended to shift to Windows 7 when it launched in 2009. At that time, 67% of the companies that participated in a Forrester survey intended to shift to Windows 7, with 28% either not considering the update or are totally skipping it.
