No, it's different, simply no one will RUN to upgrade. Sooner or later most will, but don't expect people to upgrade XP systems that still do their job without problems. Win 7 is anyhow in a better situation than Vista, as delaying the upgrade isn't as bad for MS as refusing Vista whenever possible up to updowngrading it to XP.

How can you qualify that statement given Microsoft have already deferred close to US$2 billion dollars in Windows 7 presales to its Q2 financials(only preorders until Sept 30th) and there are articles from Amazon saying its their biggest grossing preorder of all time.

It looks to me like plenty of people are RUNNING to upgrade
