Why Migrate Now?
Aging infrastructure
• Economy forced IT to extend desktops to 5yrs; laptops to 4yrs
Windows XP with deep roots and large install base (8 years old)
• Commercial application vendors have to start porting applications to Windows 7
Windows XP support squeezed
• Extended support contracts for Windows XP become costly
Windows 7 viewed as “Windows Vista SP3”
• Companies committed to migration have already started migration with Vista
Thousands of legacy applications will be incompatible on
Windows 7
• Application migration is very expensive and time consuming to recode & recertify
Begin Windows 7 Migration with VMware ThinApp
 Virtualize Windows XP or Vista
applications using ThinApp
 Start Windows 7 Pilot deployment
 Use VMware View to deploy Windows 7
as virtual desktop with full application
compatibility
