Solo quedan 800 dias para que Microsoft deje de dar soporte a Windows XP
It takes 18-24 months to plan for and deploy a new operating system. If you haven’t started planning to migrate your Windows XP PCs to a modern OS, or if your migration plan have stalled here are some great tools to help you.
First of all, start by downloading the Microsoft Deployment Toolkit (MDT). It removes the need for disc imaging, migrates your data in place during deployment, and (best of all) it’s free.
Some other tools to help make your move from Windows XP to Windows 7 easier include:
- Automating the Migration from Windows XP to Windows 7 End-to-End
- Migrating User Files and Settings from Windows XP to Windows 7
- Windows XP to Windows 7 Migration Guide
- Windows 7 Application Compatibility List for IT Professionals (check the Windows compatibility status of more than 27,000 applications)
- Video: Windows XP to Windows 7 Migration Using Microsoft Deployment Toolkit 2010
- Video: Migrating from Windows XP to Windows 7 Using the User State Migration Tool (USMT)
- Need some help? Find support in the Windows 7 Installation, Setup, and Deployment forum.

Sera interesante ver que pasa en la administracion publica de mi region, que por ahora, TODOS los equipos son Windows XP SP2/SP3, y aun existen varios centenares de Windows 2000. Es mas, aun se estan migrando sistemas Windows 2000 a XP actualmente y no existen planes de Windows 7 o Linux.
El mayor lastre, no es que se tenga que re-pagar (esto da para otra entrada muy interesante) por la licencia de un sistema operativo de nuevo, lo peor son las aplicaciones que, o bien solo funcionan en Windows XP, o bien estan programadas para Internet Explorer 6. Cuando llegue el momento de migrar, nos va a dar la risa a todos, a mi sobretodo por la parte que me toca.
Ahora mismo estoy instalando y probando la herramienta Microsoft Deployment Toolkit (MDT), para ver en que consiste, que hace y que se consigue con ella. Ya os contare mañana algo mas.
