Softchoice conducted a survey of 1.6 million PCs representing 300 organizations and found that Windows 7 is being adopted at a rate that surpasses Vista's initial adoption. 

In the first two years of Vista's launch, it was only deployed on 3% of total PCs, whereas 18% of all corporate PCs currently have Windows 7. 

“In the span of less than a year we’ve seen organizations move from a cautious ‘wait and see’ mentality to rolling out Windows 7 pretty rapidly,” said Dean Williams, manager of assessment services development for softchoice. “Given the activity of the past few quarters we’ve clearly reached a tipping point. This is a completely different picture than what we saw with the adoption of Vista.”

This infographic gives you a better picture of how adoption of Windows 7 is progressing. Do you agree with the numbers? What is the status of adoption in your workplace?
