Microsoft's latest OS, Windows 7, figures to play a big part in IT spending next year, says investment group Goldman Sachs. The reason, Goldman says, is because of pent-up demand for new hardware like servers and PCs stimulating an increase in Windows 7 upgrades, ComputerWorld reports. Goldman came by its prediction through a survey comprised of 100 IT executives from Fortune 1000 companies. Some 94 percent of those surveyed said they intend to upgrade to Windows 7, with 32 percent saying they'll do so in 2010, and another 28 percent indicating they'll make the jump in 2011. The remaining 34 percent pegged 2012 and beyond as the expected upgrade time frame, but Goldman reckons most of them will migrate in 2012 rather than waiting much longer. One other reason Goldman believes IT spending will rise is because 36 percent of respondents said they believe their spending with Microsoft will increase, compared to 15 percent and 24 percent in the last two surveys (June and August, respectively).
