The Commonwealth Bank of Australia this week said it had examined Microsoft's forthcoming Windows 7 operating system but was yet to formally test the beta version.
National Australia Bank (NAB) is testing Windows 7 to assess its viability for an upgrade from Windows XP, which it finished migrating to last year.
The Australians Customs and Border Protection Service this week said at this stage it had no plans to upgrade its extensive Windows Vista desktop fleet to Microsoft's incoming operating system Windows 7.
Welfare agency Centrelink has praised early test versions of Microsoft's upcoming Windows 7 operating system, saying they show a jump in quality over the much-maligned Windows Vista.
The Department of Defence this week said it was not yet testing the early versions of Windows 7, although it would consider Microsoft's upcoming operating system as more details about it were known.
There appears to be no doubt that Windows 7 will be significantly more popular in Australia than Vista was, a reality that will help Microsoft entrench its wider software portfolio even further into the enterprise.
