Even before I read this, I have been telling everybody I know who is still using a lower OS that they need to upgrade. People don't realize the importance of it. It's even harder to get the message across to people who are less technical.

Any idea how we can improve? I got the same feedback internally. This is really good - but what about the consumer? Personally I did not experience a lot of probelms upgrading from Windows XP to Windows 7 - except for some very old games, where I did not have a problem that the kids lost them :-)
But how can we help?

I think the worst thing you can do is to try to make a Windows XP out of Windows 7 or 8. These are different operating systems with different possibilities. If you run into problems with some apps, there are options on Windows 7 like the Windows XP Mode (to run a few applications in an XP environment) or application virtualization. There are ways to handle this and in this post, I have some links, which can help you: www.halbheer.ch/.../get-off-xp-or-risk-yourbusiness

The major problem is...money!
We now live in a very 'free' world, where it is not only acceptable to to download 'free' music, movies, software etc. it is considered normal.
Thus, trying to entice someone to pay for an upgrade to Windows is almost an impossibility.
The only solution is to to (try to) convince end users that you get what you pay for.
Of course you can download (for example) free anti-virus but, in real terms, it is not as effective as a subscription based version.
And here's the double-whammy... those who want 'free' (music etc.) are those same people who will use free anti-virus software. Of course, ironically, those are the people that need the extra protection of a paid for service. Ever tried telling them that? Don't waste your breath! Till they have to pay for virus removal!!!!!
So the same goes with Windows - after all it was free ( it was pre-installed on the computer) so why should I pay for an upgrade? And I can download a hooky version of Windows 7 or 8 so it's still free??!?!?
The fact is 'free' costs money.
At the end of the day XP was awesome. But it is time to move on. Get your hand in your pocket now and save yourself money in the long run. Computer security is not a joke - neglect it at your peril.
