Australian accounting software developer MYOB has rolled out Windows 7 to 50 development and IT support staff as part of an effort to ensure the company's small business software was compatible with the new operating system.
Supermarket chain Woolworths is currently testing Windows 7 but won't upgrade its corporate desktops from Windows XP to the new operating system before 2010, while local software house MYOB has revealed internal migration plans.
