The Benefit of Windows 7 in SMB

Businesses deploying Windows 7 are gaining more than happier users; they are lowering support costs, improving security, and making end users more productive.

This IDC White Paper incorporates three areas of data collection and research including in-depth interviews with 9 individual SMB companies (having up to 250 PCs) that were early adopters of Windows 7 and were participants in Microsoft's Ignite program for early deployments of Windows 7.

The second dimension was a quantitative study of 400 individual end users who have Windows 7 PCs and who work at SMB organizations of up to 250 PCs. Finally, there were interviews with 60 IT managers, also at SMBs that had some experience with Windows 7 deployments, for the purpose of rounding out the market adoption dynamics and validating the overall data set that was built as part of this IDC White Paper.
