Windows 7

Windows 7 has finally been launched, and we're here to help you upgrade! Windows 7 can bring great benefits to your business, with a new and improved interface and features that will help keep your network secure and stable.

Below are some of the main points we want to share with customers who are considering making the decision to migrate to Windows 7, and which version you should choose.

Powerful New Features

Windows 7 packs some powerful new features, even for users that are used to Vista.

  • Access information from almost anywhere with DirectAccess, which allows access to your company’s corporate network and intranet sites without using virtual private network (VPN) software.
  • Speed up access to information with BranchCache, which helps you access remote data faster and easier than ever.
  • Improve PC stability with AppLocker, which allows IT departments to specify which applications (and versions) are allowed to be installed.
  • Help protect users, infrastructure, and data with BitLocker™ To Go, which allows IT departments to automatically encrypt any USB drive attached to a Windows 7-based machine.
  • Ease transition to Windows 7 with Windows XP Mode, which allows you to run Windows XP virtually under Windows 7 and minimize your application compatibility concerns.
  • Help remove barriers to information with Federated Search, which allows you to search and view content from local, network, and Internet repositories—all within a single view.

Which version should you choose?

We highly recommend either the Professional or Enterprise editions of Windows 7. Windows 7 Professional is designed for small businesses, and is available as an upgrade license through Volume Licensing. It's the successor to Windows Vista Business.

Windows 7 Enterprise is for medium-sized or larger businesses. It's also available with Software Assurance for Windows.

Special Offers!

For a limited time (until April 30, 2010) you can get Windows 7 Professional at a discount, up to 15% off the regular price in Open License and Select. If you include Software Assurance you can upgrade to Windows 7 Enterprise and get exclusive rights to purchase the Microsoft Desktop Optimization Pack.
