If you’re still scratching your head over why
HP is pushing Windows 7 over Windows 8, this might give you a clue. Shawn Allaway, the CEO of Windows migration assistance firm ConverterTechnology,
tells Network World that the impending death of Windows XP has led many of his customers to ask about upgrading their systems… but not to
Windows 8. In fact, Allaway says that none of his customers have chosen Windows 8 so far and most of them will likely
upgrade to Windows 7 instead.
