That's the *earliest* that even the most aggressive adopters can do the job right. Three years to move? Very likely. Five? That's pushing it for big companies but small ones that just migrated to Win7 may still be there in 5 years.
None of that will stop Windows 8 from selling 350 million copies or so in the first year.
BTW, here's another ZDNet article. This one is on why MS is dropping the start menu. Hint: it's to foster use of the Windows Key on your keyboard.
