Josh Kaplan, the president of Rescuecom has said that from the calls they were getting, as well as from their own past experience with all the operating systems of Microsoft, they recommend that the people should stick with the time tested operating system and must wait for all the dust to settle down.

By citing a litany of reasons that range from the risk of data loss during an upgrade to the tough economic times, Kaplan urged that the Windows users should put off this upgrading to Windows 7 or getting themselves a new PC with the latest operating system of Microsoft preinstalled. He said that there remain some compelling reasons for both the businesses and for the home users to switch to Windows 7, so they say to wait for a little bit.

The upgrade to an existing machine no matter if it is running an eight year old operating system of Windows XP or the latest one Vista, it is particularly risky, especially if the users have not taken enough time to make a full backup of their data before they migrate the machines.
