TechCentral has posted a story where Gartner is advising companies not to delay on the deployment of Windows 7.
Gartner says that “”We estimate that large and mid-size organisations worldwide will migrate approximately 250 million PCs to Windows 7” between 2011 and 2013. They think this will drive up demand for OS deployment skills, not seen with Vista, and will lead to a shortage of those skills. That will drive up staffing prices, and force laggards to hire lesser skilled people who will perform a lower quality job.
Nice timing! It just so happens that my current (already!) writing project is centred in this space. I’ll talk more about that later when I can.
