Apps builders like touch and multitouch capabilities but are challenged by supporting older versions of the OS
Developers are hopping on the Windows 7 bandwagon, according to survey results released Monday by database and developer tools vendor Embarcadero Technologies.
In a survey of 606 respondents conducted in May, Embarcadero found 54 percent indicated they were developing applications for Windows 7. Another 25 percent said they plan to develop applications for Microsoft's latest client OS in the next year. Just 10 percent have no plans to build for Windows 7.
[ Get all the details you need on deploying and using Windows 7 in the InfoWorld editors' 21-page Windows 7 Deep Dive PDF special report. ]
But more than 15 percent of respondents are waiting for more organizations to adopt Windows 7 to make it worth their while, according to Embarcadero. Respondents were comprised of developers, architects, and analysts.
Respondents, Embarcadero found, are enticed by Windows 7 capabilities such as touch, multitouch, and enhanced graphics. Microsoft began shipping Windows 7 last fall.
"The popularity of devices like the iPhone and iPad have helped drive mainstream acceptance of touch-based technologies. This popularity transcends into the developer community, and I doubt we'll see it abate anytime soon," said Michael Rozlog, product manager for Delphi Solutions at Embarcadero, in a statement released by the company.
Building for Windows 7 is not without challenges, however. Thirty-four percent of respondents indicated the biggest challenge is supporting users on older versions of Windows. Microsoft is ending support for Windows XP in April 2014 and analysts are encouraging enterprises and consumers to move to Windows 7 by the end of 2012, Embarcadero said. These urgings, however, have been met with reluctance, the company noted.
Better than 10 percent of respondents said learning something new was the biggest challenge to developing for Windows 7.
The survey also found that the majority plan to build Windows 7 desktop applications first, with database applications second on the list, followed by utilities and tools. Small business applications are of higher priority than enterprise applications.

Microsoft to keep XP alive until 2020
With 74 percent of business PCs running XP, the extended 'downgrade' deadline is more proof that it's the OS that won't die.
Just a day before Microsoft drops support for Windows XP Service Pack 2 (SP2), the company announced on Monday that people running some versions of Windows 7 can "downgrade" to the aged operating system for up to 10 years.
The move is highly unusual. In the past, Microsoft has terminated downgrade rights -- which let customers replace a newer version of Windows with an older edition without paying for two copies -- within months of introducing a new OS.
While few consumers may want to "downgrade" from Windows 7 to XP -- unlike when many mutinied against Vista three years ago -- businesses often want to standardize on a single operating system to simplify machine management.
Monday's announcement was the second Windows XP "downgrade" rights extension. Microsoft originally limited Windows 7-to-Windows XP "downgrades" to six months after Windows 7's release, but backtracked in June 2009 after an analyst with Gartner Research called the plan a "real mess."
Instead, Microsoft later said it would allow downgrades to Windows XP until 18 months after the October 2009 debut of Windows 7, or until it released Windows 7 SP1.
In either scenario, XP downgrade rights would have expired sometime in 2011, perhaps as early as April.
On Monday, Microsoft again changed its mind. Users running Windows 7 Professional or Ultimate will now be able to "downgrade" to Windows XP Professional throughout the entire lifecycle of Windows 7.
"Our business customers have told us that the removing end-user 'downgrade' rights to Windows XP Professional could be confusing," said Microsoft spokesman Brandon LeBlanc, in an entry on the a company blog.
Windows 7 Professional won't be fully retired until January 2020; the Ultimate edition will be put out to pasture five years earlier, in January 2015.
Although Microsoft said it made the change to simplify the work in tracking licensing rights for PCs, the continued popularity of Windows XP may have had something to do with it. At the Worldwide Partner Conference (WPC), which opened Monday in Washington, D.C., a company executive acknowledged that 74 percent of business computers still run XP.
The "downgrade" rights are available only from OEM copies of Windows 7, those that are pre-installed by computer makers.
"Going forward, businesses can continue to purchase new PCs and utilize end-user 'downgrade' rights to Windows XP or Windows Vista until they are ready to use Windows 7," LeBlanc added in his blog post.

Microsoft releases Windows 7 SP1 beta for IT
Aims preview at IT pros, but anyone can grab Windows 7's first upgrade
Microsoft today released the first public beta of Windows 7 Service Pack 1 (SP1), but warned users to steer clear of the preview. The beta also includes a first-look at Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1.
The company announced the availability of the betas as it kicked off its Worldwide Partner Conference (WPC) Monday in Washington, D.C., where it also announced it is expanding the preview of its Intune hosted desktop-computer management service by an additional 10,000 IT users.
"This early release of Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1 Beta is not available for home users," Microsoft said in a message on its site. "The SP1 Beta does not provide new end-user features, and installation is not supported by Microsoft."
Microsoft promised last month that it would ship Windows 7 SP1 beta in July, but did not name a release date. The company first acknowledged it was working on the service pack last March.
According to previous comments by Microsoft, Windows 7 SP1 will not include any new features, but will simply be a combination of security updates already available through Windows Update, as well as nonsecurity fixes that it's gleaned from customer feedback.
The most notable addition to Windows 7 SP1 is an updated Remote Desktop client designed to work with RemoteFX, the new remote-access platform included with Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1. The latter also includes a feature dubbed Dynamic Memory, which lets IT staff adjust guest virtual machines' memory on the fly.
Although Microsoft urged end users to not download Windows 7 SP1's beta, that doesn't prevent consumers or technology enthusiasts from grabbing it off Microsoft's servers. Selecting IT Manager, IT Worker, or Developer from a list allows anyone to obtain the beta. Other choices from the list, such as Tech Enthusiast or Consumer block access to the download.
Users can specify either the 32- or 64-bit version of the combined beta -- the download contains code for both Windows 7 SP1 and Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1 -- to be downloaded via Windows Update, or they can retrieve a 1.2GB disk image in .iso format that can be installed over a network or burned to a CD.
The betas are currently available only in English, French, German, Japanese, and Spanish editions.
Windows 7 SP1 is ahead of Vista SP1's schedule by approximately two months. Microsoft offered a public beta of Vista SP1 in December 2007, 11 months after that operating system's release to retail. Windows 7's first service pack appeared less than nine months after its late October 2009 debut.
The betas of Windows 7 SP1 and Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1 can be downloaded from Microsoft's site.
