Seats are filling up fast. Reserve your seat now for The Top 10 Things You Must Know about Windows 7.
You have probably heard about the exciting new operating system release from Microsoft - Windows® 7 Professional.
Windows® 7 Professional is the successor to the much-maligned Windows Vista. We at GizmoFish were not big fans of Vista. However we do heartily endorse Windows® 7 Professional. Firstly Windows XP is getting very long in the tooth and is fast becoming obsolete. Secondly in Windows® 7 Professional Microsoft has kept all of the good things from Vista and improved or eliminated the things that made Vista unpopular with some users. Our experiences with Windows® 7 Professional have been very positive, unlike with Vista.
Microsoft says Windows® 7 Professional "is designed to help your company meet today's challenges while allowing you the flexibility to prepare for tomorrow's. Built on the significant technical advances created for the Windows Vista® and Windows Server® 2008 operating systems, Windows 7 can help you enable your users be more productive everywhere, enhance security and control, and streamline the management of desktop environment."
Although this sounds like Marketing-speak we think it actually reflects the truth. Windows® 7 Professional works great today but was obviously built with the future in mind. 64-bit technology, built-in virtualization , more robust yet less intrusive security, and better integration with the internet are just a few of the more forward-looking features Microsoft has added.
For those of you who have or are considering a server-based environment Windows® 7 Professional deftly leverages Windows Server® 2008 in several ways. While certainly it is not required that you upgrade your server to Windows Server® 2008, there are distinct benefits to doing so that should make upgrading at least a consideration. Windows Server® 2008 has its own enhancements including built-in virtualization that should make any server-based organization give it strong consideration regardless of when you plan to migrate to Windows® 7 Professional on the desktop.
