For my company, there really were no barriers to deploying Windows 7. All of our applications are Web based, except a single legacy db app that needed some compatibility mode tweaking. There are a lot of tools that make running legacy programs pretty painless. We had windows 7 fully deployed less than 12 months following its release, and the only reason it delayed that long is we wanted to time it with the purchase of new PCs. I know a few large firms downtown that beat us by a couple months.
That said, not every company has the same setup, so it might be harder for some.

To be fair, Windows 7 wasn't a drastic change like Windows 8, it didn't have the same level of organizational risk as Windows 8
