- Not enough time to test
- Waiting to see what Windows 8.1 will provide for business
- Not enough IT resources
- Confused about the proper tools

So, after sifting through both articles, I realize that we've not covered all the bases.

We're preparing to provide guidance and content to help with the Windows XP migrations, and the information you provide will be extremely helpful to us—and ultimately to you.
