Windows 7 brings a halo effect to Vista to regain a new life

All along, companies have always resisted Vista. But recently, it seems that Vista's image in people's minds is getting better. The report from Forrester said that Vista seems to be reborn in the enterprise, and for the reason, I am afraid that Windows 7 plays a big role in it.

Forrester surveyed 962 IT decision makers from North America and Europe and found that only about 10% of companies installed Vista, but the good news is that one-third of companies have started deploying Vista. And 26% of companies plan to deploy Vista this year or next. Only 15% of companies said they would skip Vista and upgrade directly to Windows 7.

This reminds us of the XP of the year. At that time, the market share of XP was less than 10% in the year after the release of XP, and reached 50% in four years. According to Forrester's figures, I believe that by 2010, Vista's market share is also very likely to reach 50%. Because most IT decision makers will wait for the performance of Windows 7 to decide whether it is worth upgrading.

Yes, the original Vista RTM did have a lot of problems, but I think everyone should revisit Vista, why? SP1 has brought a huge change to Vista, and SP2 is also released soon. As a member of the Windows Server 2008 and Windows 7 family, Vista is as good as both.

With the halo effect:

The halo effect, also known as the "halo effect", belongs to the category of psychology. The halo effect means that people's cognition of others is based on the individual's likes and dislikes. Out, and then from this judgment to infer the phenomenon of other qualities of the cognitive object. If the cognitive object is marked as "good", he will be enveloped by the "good" aperture and given all good qualities; if the cognitive object is marked as "bad", he will be "bad" "The aperture is shrouded, and all his qualities are considered bad.

The quality or characteristics of this strong perception, like the halo of the moon form, diffuse and spread to the surroundings, thus concealing other qualities or characteristics, so it is called the halo effect.

I Love Vista: Vista may not be that bad. XP has also experienced a long process of popularization, which no one can deny.
