The set launch of the new Microsoft Windows 7 Operating System faces uncertain future as corporate clients has tightened grip on IT funding.

Analysts said that despite the current development in the capacity of companies to acquire new technological advances, the funding problem due to bad economic conditions remains.

Microsoft Corp. is facing a predicament over the set release of the next generation operating system called Window 7 OS, which will come out next week.

The problem: the enterprises, which has earlier eyed the adoption of the new Vista format OS, may not have the funds that will shoulder the costs of installing the Windows 7 in its systems.

Reports also cited that some six percent of the computers in the businesses were capable of handling the new Vista’s advance features. The report, which was released way back in 2006, showed that about half the companies’ PCs are able to run under even the minimal Vista installation.

But Services Development Manager Dean Williams, a research group in the US, noted an improved situation in company software adaptation, saying that some 88 percent of the computers are capable of running under Windows 7 while some 65 percent can handle the more advance feature of the OS.

Meanwhile, Directions on Microsoft research vice president Michael Cherry said “not so fast,” saying that corporate consumers may have been convinced by the software developer to adopt their new OS but the funding problems remain a tough challenge for them.

“The IT sector is now under extreme pressure to do more with less as IT budgets for corporate clients remain under increasing pressure from the slow economic recovery,” he said.
