For at least 7 reasons, users don't have to rush to use Windows 7.

In fact, from the preview to the current RTM version, Windows 7 performance and new features are refreshing. But some new features do not really produce value for individual users. Windows XP or vista is relatively adequate.

Therefore, the 7 reasons mentioned below, perhaps only a few of them and the user's current situation is consistent, but they are indeed the impact of upgrading to Windows 7 barriers.

Reason one, security issue. Windows 7 security issues are like the sports car that a drunken teenager drives. From Windows Workgroup and NT 3, which continues to this day, says Windows security is similar to "jokes." In the past, running Windows was like sticking your head in a noose.

Reason two, price problem. To upgrade to, no matter how users purchase, is very expensive. It is not known whether users have additional budgets to buy new or improved features.
