This was strange – I just read a small white paper @ Windows 7 user acceptance – which was researched performed at Intel.  What was strange was that at the sign up for the paper it asked if I wanted to be contacted by Dell to discuss an upgrade.

The paper itself (http://www.cio.com/documents/whitepapers/Intel_Value_of_PC_Refresh_with_Microsoft_Windows_7.pdf) wasn’t surprising -as it said the users liked Windows 7 over Windows XP.  They indicated the ROI was good for them – but of course Intel was talking about using Intel technologies with Windows 7.  So this is not quite an unbiased review – as they’re talking about their own technology. Makes me wonder if this is really advertising for upgrading hardware now that Windows 7 is here…
