Why It's Best To Wait       By Paul McDougall    As Microsoft launches its highly-anticipated new OS this week, experts say IT pros should focus on Windows 7 upgrades--and watch for Windows 8 tablets to walk through the enterprise front door.           Business Users Satisfied With IT? Think Again      IT has reason to worry, says InformationWeek's new IT Perception Survey that compares attitudes of technology and business pros.      Next Valley View: Dial C For Controversy      Tune into the next episode of our live Web TV program, Valley View, October 24 at 11 am PT.

In addition to a chat with Cisco's John Chambers and Oracle's Mark Hurd, we'll take deep dive into an exclusive report on how technology companies spent economic stimulus money (and what the outcome of that spending was). We'll also feature our Elevator Pitch session, a rapid-fire deluge of information about new technology approaches.       One company's elevator pitch we'll be highlighting: Taptera.       Taptera is making mobile applications for the enterprise workforce. These are newly-built productivity applications -- the useful everyday stuff that employees have to do. And many of these applications tie into your corporate systems, like the corporate directory and the expense reporting systems. Taptera says they are focused on solving real, practical problems. If anything is going to make mobile devices a staple in the enterprise, it will be applications like these.       Other Elevator Pitches featured: Alteryx (big data analytics in the cloud) and Hearsay Social (enterprise social media).
