[dba-Tech] Windows 7 or not?

The quandary of whether to rely on Windows 7 or not is going on in many
offices.

The other day I sat in on a round table discussion, at a client's, on
whether the desktop machines should be moved to Windows 7 or is there
alternatives. This was not a small client as their scope covers the entire
country and their installed base is 100K or more. In the last 8 years they
have moved from a Windows back end to a Linux/Unix one and now they are
discussion whether the desktop should be next.

I am of two minds on this. 

Here is a commentary from the senior editor of TechRepublic on that exact
