Research and Opinion Paper3

Week 6 Research and Opinion Paper3 

Many consumers and Businesses are unwilling to upgrade their operating systems, because of the inconvenience of learning and embracing the new software. However in reality many of the operating systems have a basic setup.  

Windows XP and Windows Vista for instance have many of the same features. However businesses liked XP.  New operating systems have there flaws especially when first released. The time and money that a new operating system could cost a company is huge. They have to pay for the software, they have to pay to train their employees and any down time and errors that the new operating system could cause could cost the company their daily profit and production. 

I believe businesses have a justified reason for not upgrading their software immediately but after the initial errors of the operating system have been solved that there is no reason for businesses not to upgrade, especially because it will help them maintain competitiveness with newer companies, and keep them compatible with newer software as it’s released. 

For home users they should upgrade at anytime, it is wise for consumers to stay informed with the rapidly evolving technology world.
