Windows 7

We’ve never been more excited about an operating system. With Windows 7, Microsoft has retooled the Windows OS and have enabled the features that we’ve been waiting for.

Increased Peformance – Above and beyond all the other hype, you should upgrade to Windows 7 to reap the rewards of increased performance. If you calculate the time you spend waiting for your machine to start up each morning and multiply that across your entire organization, you’ll see that by changing that one factor you’ve will make back in a short amount of time the money spent on a Windows 7 upgrade project. Windows 7 even performs well on older hardware.

Interface Changes – Microsoft has added tons of new features that make the way you work with the operating system more efficient. The two most valuable that we use every day: Enhancements to Search built directly into the OS to locate files from email, web, local and network file shares and sharepoint; Jump Lists allow us to quickly access our most recently used documents and files without having to navigate to the file or opening the application.

Backwards Compatibility – If you are running older applications that your afraid will no longer work in Windows 7, you can relax. Windows  7 has numerous features to allow compatibility. If you have an application that only runs on Windows XP, this can be run within a virtual xp environment that is part of Windows 7.  If your application works with Windows Vista, it will most likely work with Windows 7 without a problem.
