Oh no! Microsoft
I just read the news that if you are planning to install Microsoft 7 on an XP computer, you have to migrate all your files off because it is a complete reinstall. In other words, EVERY computer you install it on will lose the files and folders (organization) you had on the computer.
However, if you are running Vista the files will stay intact. It is an upgrade.
But for those of us who didn’t go to Vista, we have to move all images, documents, music, etc. and the complete organized file system off the computers for the install. Plus, you have to reinstall all the programs and drivers you have to do with any OS upgrade.
This is not kosher for those of us who manage a large number of computers that may migrate to the new OS in the future. We are excited about the new OS. It sounds like it will be fantastic but is it worth the effort?
