And while many companies are holding tight to their dollars, I am seeing them spend (or plan for spending) for IT. Many companies refresh their IT for 3 or 4 years, and right now some companies have equipment that has far exceeded it's use. This coupled with the launch of Windows 7 and numerous new apps, might just be the opportune time to come up for air long enough to refresh. Will it bring back the big spend seen in years past? probably not, but maybe by 2012 we can see some normality to IT budgeting and spending.
