A recent pre-marketing survey has shown that 6 out of every 10 companies surveyed are planning to skip changing to MS Windows 7. Windows 7 is scheduled to be launched on 22nd October this year. But the good news is, Windows 7 has better reviews than Windows Vista atelast!

Many of the companies rejected to switch to Windows 7 because it will cost them extra penny in recession period and they are unsure will their existing applications be compatible with Windows7.

The survey found about 60 percent of those surveyed have no plans to deploy Windows 7, 34 percent will deploy it by the end of 2010 and only 5.4 percent will deploy by year’s end.

This may turn out happy news for Google who are also planning to launch their OS, Google chrome by year 2010. Analysts have said that Google which will challenge to Microsoft’s decades-old dominance of computer operating systems and business applications will take years to get significant share of the market, but startups might be their way in.

However Microsoft’s Windows still dominates. It remains the operating system software for about 95 percent of PCs, with more than 950 million copies running worldwide. It may not turn out be a cake walk for Google but the consumers can hope that cake will get sweeter as Google rivals Microsoft in the battle for creating user friendly OS.
