So I work at a company that is on XP and even still had users on 2000 up unit a few months ago. Most clients are used to using the classic view and also have shortcuts to everything on their desktop.
When they go to Windows 7, probably early next year, the company decided to use the default Windows 7 layout with the exception of a custom background image. So there won't be desktop shortcuts, no quick launch, all taskbar icons will be combined with no text telling you what they are. Basically, Windows 7 out of the box.
How do you think this will sit with clients? Will they mind the dramatic change overnight? Will many of them be resistant to using Windows 7? Will they be bugging Desktop Support to make it look more like Windows XP?
If you had to migrate clients from XP to 7, would you leave all the default 7 settings?
