As I’m sure you are aware, Windows 7 is coming. Microsoft Windows 7 just received RTM (release to manufacturing) status. This means that very shortly, all PC manufactures will start pre-installing Windows 7 on all their PC’s and laptops, and Windows 7 will be available on the store shelves, and from resellers.

Windows 7 will be available on Oct. 22, 2009, so now is the time to start evaluating and planning for its introduction in to your business.

You might be asking yourself “why would I want to upgrade to Windows 7?” Well there are a many reasons; here are a few highlights of the enhancements:

• Quicker Install time. Windows 7 can be installed much quicker than Windows Vista, and at least as quick as Windows XP.
• UAC Controls. Remember all those annoying prompts in Vista asking you if you wanted to run something, install something, use something, etc. They are mostly gone, and the ones that remain can be easily turned off.
• Superbar – The latest version of the task bar, for managing opened programs and documents much faster and more efficiently than in previous versions.
• Aero Peek – The replacement for Show Desktop lets you “peak” behind open windows and view your desktop and or documents.
• Aero Snap – Ability to maximize or minimize a window just by dragging it to the edge, rather than hunting for the tiny buttons on the top right. Snap back to a window by just dragging it away from the edge.
• Blu-Ray Support – Native support of Blu-Ray optical disks, and the ability to write to Blu-Ray recordable Media
• Speed – both start-up / shutdown, as well as operationally, have been noticeably improved.

Windows 7 provides better speed, higher productivity, more stability and an overall better user experience, all of which will reduce costs for your business.
